　　ACT TWO

　　[ SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - DAY]

　　[A man walks with a cane¹ and a travel bag.]

　　[ LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - DAY]

　　[O'Brien holds a white cloth as she talks to Anna and Gwen as the house maids make the bed.]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　\"Neither of them were picked up,\" that's what he said.

　　ANNA

　　Mr Crawley and Mr Patrick?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　That's what he said. Her Ladyship was the colour of this cloth.

　　GWEN

　　Well, it's a terrible shame if it's true.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　It's worse than a shame. It's a complication.

　　[O'Brien leaves. Gwen and Anna follow O'Brien down the servants' staircase.]

　　GWEN

　　Well, what do you mean?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What do you think? Mr Crawley was His Lordship's cousin and heir to the title.

　　GWEN

　　Well, but I thought Lady Mary was the heir.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　She's a girl, stupid. Girls can't inherit. But now Mr Crawley's dead, and Mr Patrick was his only son. So, what happens next?

　　ANNA

　　It's a dreadful thing.

　　[The maids find Mr Bates standing² in the servants' corridor with his cane and travel bag.]

　　MR BATES

　　Hello. I've been waiting at the back door. I knocked, but no one came.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　So you pushed in?

　　MR BATES

　　I'm John Bates, the new valet.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　The new valet?

　　MR BATES

　　That's right.

　　[O'Brien looks down at Bates's cane.]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You're early.

　　MR BATES

　　Came on the milk train, thought I'd use the day to get to know the place, start tonight.

　　ANNA

　　I'm Anna, the head housemaid.

　　[Anna shifts the sheets and candle in her arms to shake his hand.]

　　MR BATES

　　How do you do?

　　[Bates reaches to shake O'Brien's hand, but she doesn't take it.]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　And I'm Miss O'Brien, Her Ladyship's maid. You better come along with us.

　　[Anna and Bates exchange a small smile before following into the servants' hall.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　But how can you manage?

　　MR BATES

　　Don't worry about that. I can manage.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Because we've all got our own work to do.

　　MR BATES

　　I can manage.

　　MR CARSON

　　All right, Mrs Hughes, I'll take over, thank you. Good morning, Mr Bates. Welcome. I hope your journey was satisfactory.

　　MR BATES

　　It was fine, thank you.

　　MR CARSON

　　I am the butler at Downton. My name is Carson.

　　MR BATES

　　How do you do, Mr Carson?

　　MR CARSON

　　This is Thomas, first footman. He's been looking after His Lordship since Mr Watson left. It'll be a relief to get back to normal, won't it, Thomas?

　　[Thomas gives a short, insincere smile. Mr Carson turns to Mrs Hughes.]

　　MR CARSON

　　I assume that everything is ready for Mr Bates's arrival?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　I put him in Mr Watson's old room. Though he left it in quite a state, I can tell you.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　But what about all them stairs?

　　MR BATES

　　I keep telling you...I can manage.

　　ANNA

　　Of course you can.

　　[Bates and Anna exchange a friendly smile.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Thomas, take Mr Bates to his room and show him where he'll be working.

　　[Thomas and Bates leave.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Thank you everyone.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Well, I can't see that lasting³ long.

　　MR CARSON

　　Thank you, Miss O'Brien.

　　[Carson leaves. Carson looks up at the daunting⁴ flights of stairs and Thomas smiles before

　　ascending⁵ ahead of him.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' BEDROOM CORRIDOR - DAY]

　　[Bates is panting as they walk down the corridor. Thomas opens the door to his room and

　　Bates looks at the modest wardrobe, chair, washing basin, cots, nightstand, and dresser.]

　　MR BATES

　　Oh, yes. I shall be comfortable here.

　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]

　　LADY MARY

　　Does this mean I'll have to go into full mourning?

　　[Robert is shocked and upset.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　My first cousin and his son are almost certainly dead. We will all be in mourning.

　　LADY MARY

　　No. I mean, with the other thing. After all, it wasn't official.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　If you're saying you do not wish to mourn Patrick as a fianc? that is up to you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, no one knew about it outside the family.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I repeat, it is up to you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, that's a relief.

　　[She looks up at her father, realizing how that sounded. Robert turns to sit down at his desk and Mary leaves.]

　　[INT. LORD GRANTHAM'S DRESSING⁶ ROOM - DAY]

　　[Thomas shows Bates around the house.]

　　THOMAS

　　There's some cedar-lined cupboards in the attics⁷ for things that aren't often worn,travelling clothes and such. Mr Watson used them to rotate the summer and winter stuff; I'll show you later.

　　MR BATES

　　What about studs and links? Do I choose them, or does he?

　　THOMAS

　　Lay them out unless he asks for something in particular. These for a ball, these for an ordinary dinner, these only in London.

　　MR BATES

　　I'll get the hang of it.

　　THOMAS

　　Yeah, you'll have to.

　　[Mr Bates lifts a lid on a case.]

　　THOMAS

　　Snuff boxes. He collects them.

　　MR BATES

　　Beautiful. Funny our job, isn't it?

　　THOMAS

　　What do you mean?

　　MR BATES

　　The way we live with all this, pirates horde⁸ within our reach. But none of it's ours, is it?

　　THOMAS

　　No, none of it's ours.

　　[INT. CORRIDOR - DAY]

　　[Thomas stops as he passes O'Brien in the corridor.]

　　THOMAS

　　I can't believe I've been passed over for Long John Silver.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You should've spoken up when you had the chance. Don't make the same mistake next time.

　　THOMAS

　　Who says there'll be a next time?

　　[Mrs Hughes enters the corridor.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Is this a public holiday no one's told me of?

　　[Thomas continues on his way.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]

　　[Robert and Cora go on a walk with the dog.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　She was certainly reluctant to go into mourning.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, she'll have to; we all will. O'Brien's sorting out my black now, and I've told Anna to see what the girls have that still fits. Of course, this alters everything. You won't try to deny it. You must challenge the entail⁹ now, surely?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Can't we at least wait until we know they're dead before we discuss it?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Don't talk as if I'm not broken-hearted, because I am. Of course, I've never understood why this estate must go to whomever inherits your title.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　My dear, I don't make the law.

　　[Mr Carson approaches them from the house.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　What is it?

　　MR CARSON

　　The Dowager Countess is in the drawing room.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I'll come now.

　　MR CARSON

　　She asked for Lady Grantham.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I wonder what I've done wrong this time.

　　MR CARSON

　　And the new valet has arrived, My Lord.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Has he? Er...thank you, Carson.

　　[Carson clears his throat.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　What is it?

　　MR CARSON

　　I'm not entirely¹⁰ sure that he'll prove equal to the task, but Your Lordship will be the judge of that.

　　[Carson returns to the house and Robert turns to Cora.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Better go.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Tell her about James and Patrick; she won't have heard.

　　[00:15:41, INT. DRAWING ROOM - DAY]

　　[Violet is dressed in black.]
