[INT. CARLISLE'S NEWSPAPER OFFICE - DAY]

　　[A secretary tries to stop Vera Bates from storming into Carlisle's office.]

　　SECRETARY

　　Mrs Bates, I really must insist that--

　　VERA BATES

　　You tricked me! Well, aren't you going to deny it?

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Certainly not. I tricked you to protect my fiancé's good name.

　　VERA BATES

　　That's one word for her. I can think of a few others.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　You better not speak them aloud if you know what's good for you.

　　VERA BATES

　　I don't want your money, I don't want that contract.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　It's too late for that. And I warn you, if I so much as read her name in anything but the court circular, I shall hunt you, I will ruin you, and have you locked up. Is that clear?

　　[Stunned, Vera thinks for a moment.]

　　VERA BATES

　　It doesn't end here, you know. Not for John Bates. Lady Mary might've got away, what do I care? But he won't. You tell him.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　That's entirely your own affair.

　　[Vera marches out.]

　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]

　　[Robert flips through the library catalogue. Jane stumbles in noisily with cleaning supplies.]

　　JANE

　　Where do we start?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You tell me.

　　[Jane's jaw drops.]

　　JANE

　　Oh! Y--your Lordship, I-- I do apologise. I thought Mrs Hughes said we were to clean in here.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You must be the new maid.

　　[The telephone rings.]

　　JANE

　　I am. Jane. And it's very kind of you and Her Ladyship to take me on.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not a bit. We all owe your late husband a great debt.

　　[Jane nods, upset.]

　　JANE

　　Thank you.

　　[Mrs Hughes enters.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Milord, there's a telephone call for-- Jane? Whatever are you doing? You're wanted in the

　　drawing room, not the library, to clean it while the men are out of it.

　　[Robert watches Jane hurry out.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　She's very willing, but she's not quite there yet. I am sorry.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, don't be. What about that call

　　MRS HUGHES

　　For Lady Mary. They're waiting now.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You might just catch her if you hurry. She's on her way to the hospital.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　[Daisy stares into space, dressed for her wedding. Mr Carson enters with a bouquet of flowers.]

　　MR CARSON

　　His Lordship asked Mr Vassit to bring these in for you.

　　ANNA

　　Aw, how lovely. Here. Daisy, sit down.

　　DAISY

　　I shouldn't be doing this. It's just a lie, you know it is.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　You're doing it out of the goodness of your heart.

　　DAISY

　　The falseness of my heart, more like.

　　[O'Brien talks to Thomas on the stairs.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　She's not quite the blooming bride.

　　THOMAS

　　I don't think it's the same when you're marrying a corpse.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Are you going?

　　THOMAS

　　Why not? I won't mind shaking William's hand before he goes.

　　[They let Mrs Hughes descend the stairs between them.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　Is that sentiment or superstition in case he haunts you?

　　[Back in the hall.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　You look lovely, dear. Just to say, the vicar is ready for us.

　　MR CARSON

　　Let's go up, then.

　　[Mr Carson offers Daisy his arm. Anna hands her the bouquet. Daisy slowly stands up, takes the bouquet and Carson's arm and allows herself to be led to her wedding. The bed is woven with vines of flowers. Daisy and William hold hands. Edith and Violet attend along with Mr Mason, Anna, Bates, Mrs Hughes, Carson, Mrs Patmore, Thomas, O'Brien, and another maid.]

　　REVEREND TRAVIS

　　Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is an honourable estate, instituted of God in the time of man's innocency, signifying unto us the mystical union of Christ and--

　　[Violet dabs her eyes with a handkerchief.]

　　REVEREND TRAVIS

　　If any man can show any just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace.

　　[William gives Daisy a small smile and she gives one back.]

　　REVEREND TRAVIS

　　Hand me the ring.

　　[Mr Mason pulls the ring out of his vest pocket. Anna and Mr Carson are also on the verge of tears. William puts the ring on Daisy's finger. Edith sees Violet crying and puts her hand on her shoulder.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM (sniffle)

　　Cold.

　　REVEREND TRAVIS

　　You may now kiss the bride.

　　[Daisy leans over the bed and kisses William.]
