　　[EXT. COURTYARD - EVENING]

　　MR BATES

　　I've written to Vera spelling out the case and how she cannot win it. Then I have told her I will be generous if she will cooperate¹.

　　ANNA

　　But you're ready to give her everything. Because I am.

　　MR BATES

　　Whatever it takes, I want a clean break and not an open wound if we can just be patient a little while longer.

　　[Anna nods and Bates pulls her to his chest.]

　　MR BATES

　　We shouldn't be outside. It's cold.

　　ANNA

　　I'll be patient and bear anything. Except for you to go away again.

　　MR BATES

　　No. It's done. You're stuck with me now. For good an proper.

　　[INT. UPSTAIRS CORRIDOR² - EVENING]

　　[Edith meets Mary in the corridor.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　There's something you ought to know. Papa said not to tell you, but I don't think he's right.

　　LADY MARY

　　Go on.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Matthew's missing³. He was on patrol⁴ and he's just sort of...vanished⁵. Papa hasn't told anyone. Not even Mama. I only know because I was there when he found out. It didn't seem right to keep you in the dark.

　　[Mary nods.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　I'm not trying to upset you, truly.

　　LADY MARY

　　For once in my life, I believe you.

　　[Mary continues down the corridor and stops around the corner, overcome. Anna walks into the corridor and finds Mary close to tears.]

　　ANNA

　　They've told you, then.

　　LADY MARY

　　Do they all know downstairs?

　　[Anna nods.]

　　ANNA

　　William's missing, too. I think everyone knows except Her Ladyship.

　　LADY MARY

　　I wish Edith had left it till the morning. I could've faced it all with one more night of sleep.

　　[Anna leads Mary into another room.]

　　[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE, KITCHEN - MORNING]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　this is hot.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy, spoons! Unless they're to drink directly from the bowl.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Oh, oh.

　　MRS BIRD

　　Do you think we have enough?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Oh, you'll feed about fifty, I reckon⁶.

　　MRS BIRD

　　You got some more?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Yeah, that's the reckon.

　　[Cora and O'Brien enter.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Yeah, there's plenty there.

　　MRS BIRD

　　...vegetable one...

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　You won't have to feed a vegetable one..

　　[They all stare at Cora nervously⁷.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　May we come in?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Your Ladyship. What a surprise.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　O'Brien seemed to think that you and Mrs Bird were engaged in a commercial venture⁸ of some sort, so I came to see for myself.

　　MRS BIRD

　　We are not, Your Ladyship.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I agree, that's not what it looks like.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　We feed these men once a week, and I'm not ashamed of it. I--I'll be back before luncheon⁹ at the big house.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm sure. But is it true they're fed from our kitchens?

　　DAISY

　　Only the stuff¹⁰ the army gives. They are soldiers.

　　O'BRIEN

　　What did I tell you?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Daisy's right. We only use the food the army pay for, and all the men have served their country.

　　[They all wait nervously for Cora's next move.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　In future, I would prefer it if you would use food paid for by the house. I don't want the army to accuse us of mismanagement.

　　O'BRIEN

　　You mean, you're going to let them get away with it?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, more than that, I'm going to help them. And so are you. Molesley.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Ma'am.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　If you'd bring that table over, I suggest we divide the food. Then we can form two lines and it will go faster.

　　[The servants smile at each other.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　O'Brien, you can manage the bread.

　　[Cora takes off her coat.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Daisy.

　　DAISY

　　Of course, milady.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What is it?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Beef stew¹¹, ma'am.

　　[Daisy directs the men to the kitchen.]

　　DAISY

　　Stand over right there.

　　[They all dish up food the soldiers as they enter the kitchen.]
