[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[Mrs Patmore ushers Daisy down the corridor to William's guest bedroom.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Now, go in.

　　DAISY

　　I don't know what to say.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　It doesn't matter. He's dying. Just say nice, warm, comforting things. Make him feel loved. You don't have to be Shakespeare.

　　[Mrs Patmore pushes Daisy into the room.]

　　WILLIAM

　　There she is. Come over here where I can see you.

　　[William holds out his hand and Daisy takes it.]

　　WILLIAM

　　worth it if I get to hold your hand.

　　DAISY

　　Don't be daft.

　　WILLIAM

　　I've never slept in a room as big as this. Where are we?

　　LADY EDITH

　　At the end of the south gallery. Now take this.

　　[Edith hands William a tonic.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Any news of Captain Crawley?

　　LADY EDITH

　　He's doing much better. Thanks to you.

　　[William drinks the tonic.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Dad'll be here in a bit. Can you stay for a minute?

　　DAISY

　　I ought to go down. It's not fair on Mrs Patmore.

　　LADY EDITH

　　She won't mind.

　　WILLIAM

　　Because I did want to ask you something. Daisy, would you ever marry me now and not wait for the end of the war like we said?

　　LADY EDITH

　　You mustn't worry about all that for the moment now, William. You're here for rest, not excitement.

　　DAISY

　　That's right. There's no need to worry about it now. First let's get you better.

　　WILLIAM

　　But would you think about it?

　　DAISY

　　I must go. They'll be sending out a search party soon. Just rest. [William nods and Daisy leaves.]

　　[INT. MRS HUGHES'S SITTING ROOM - DAY]

　　[Mrs Hughes looks over an applicant's paperwork.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　It would be very unusual.

　　JANE MOORSUM

　　I know that. Of course it would. But I believe I could make it work.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　And if your child were ill?

　　JANE MOORSUM

　　My mother knows what she's doing. She's brought up five of her own.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Even so--

　　JANE MOORSUM

　　And they're only in the village.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I'll discuss it with Mr Carson. There's nothing wrong with your references. But of course, they are from before you were married.

　　JANE MOORSUM

　　I'm a good worker. And I must earn.

　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL, WARD - DAY]

　　[Matthew lies in bed, his eyes closed. He sees Mary calling to him in his mind, blue sky behind her at Downton Abbey.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Matthew. Matthew.

　　[Matthew opens his eyes and sees Mary sitting at his bedside.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Are you feeling a bit less groggy?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Where's Lavinia?

　　LADY MARY

　　She's gone back to unpack.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　How's William? I know he tried to save me.

　　LADY MARY

　　He isn't too good, I'm afraid.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Any sign of Mother?

　　LADY MARY

　　Not yet. But I'm sure she's making her way back by now.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I've still got this funny thing with my legs, I can't seem to move them. Or feel them, now that I think about it. Did Clarkson mention what that might be?

　　LADY MARY

　　Why don't we wait for Lavinia? And then we can all talk about it.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Tell me.

　　LADY MARY

　　You've not even been here for twenty-four hours. Nothing will have settled down yet.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Tell me.

　　LADY MARY

　　He says you may have damaged your spine.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　How long will it take to repair?

　　LADY MARY

　　You can't expect them to put timings on that sort of thing.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　But he did say it would get better?

　　LADY MARY

　　He says the first task is to rebuild your health, and that's what we have to concentrate on.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I see.

　　LADY MARY

　　And he says there was no reason why you should not have a perfectly full and normal life.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Just not a very mobile one.

　　LADY MARY

　　Would you like some tea? I would.

　　[Mary gets up from her chair.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Thank you for telling me. I know I'm...blubbing, but I mean it. I'd much rather know. Thank you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Blub all you like. And then, when Lavinia's here, you can make plans.

　　[Mary starts crying as she leaves.]
