　　[INT. MATTHEW‘S GUEST BEDROOM - NIGHT]
　　[Bates helps Matthew into bed.]
　　MATTHEW
　　You‘ve done this before. Bates, can I ask you something? If I started to feel a…tingling 1 in my legs, what do you think that might mean?
　　MR BATES
　　Have you told Dr Clarkson?
　　MATTHEW
　　Yes. He says it‘s an illusion. A memory of a tingling, or something. But, I mean, I do know my back is broken, I understand that I won‘t recover, but…I do keep feeling it, or I think I do.
　　MR BATES
　　I should wait and see. If something is changing, it will make itself known. Now, will that be all?
　　MATTHEW
　　Yes, thank you. Bates...please don‘t tell anyone. I couldn‘t bear it if…Miss Swire or…Mother or…or anyone started to hope.
　　MR BATES
　　I won‘t say a thing. Goodnight, sir.
　　[ EXT. THE VILLAGE - MORNING]
　　[Mrs Hughes walks to the bus stop and nods to passersby 2.]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Morning. Morning.
　　[INT. ETHEL'S HOUSE - DAY]
　　MRS HUGHES
　　I don't know why I'm doing this. I must be out of my mind.
　　ETHEL
　　Because you know it's my last chance.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Well, that's true. They won't be back, not after this trip.
　　ETHEL
　　So, what should I do?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Come to the house, but stay outside in the game larder 3. I'll leave some food there and a blanket, and then I'll try and find a moment alone with Mrs Bryant and tell her about little Charlie. And then, if she asks - only if she asks, mind you - I'll bring her out to see the child.
　　ETHEL
　　What about him?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　If either of them are in the least interested, it'll be the mother.
　　ETHEL
　　Do you think she'll help me?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　She might.
　　ETHEL
　　Suppose she won't see him?
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Then you're no worse off than you are already. Look, I shouldn't be doing it. So, if you're not keen, then, for heaven's sake, let's forget all about it.
　　ETHEL
　　No. I'll be there, I promise.
　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Doesn't it feel odd to have the rooms back?
　　LADY EDITH
　　And only asked to sit in them. I suppose we'll get used to it.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　I don't want to get used to it.
　　LADY EDITH
　　What do you mean?
　　LADY SYBIL
　　I know what it is to work now. To have a full day, to be tired in a good way. I don't want to start dress fittings and or paying calls or standing 4 behind the guns.
　　LADY EDITH
　　But how does one escape all that?
　　LADY SYBIL
　　I think I've found a way to escape.
　　LADY EDITH
　　Nothing too drastic, I hope.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　It is drastic. There's no going back once I've done it, but that's what I want. No going back.
　　LADY EDITH
　　I don't want to go back either.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　Then don't. You're far nicer than you were before the war, you know.
　　[INT. THOMAS'S STORAGE SHED - DAY]
　　O'BRIEN
　　Where did you get it all?
　　THOMAS
　　I told you, this bloke from Leeds.
　　O'BRIEN
　　Where did he get it?
　　THOMAS
　　Some's army surplus, some's from America and Ireland, everywhere. He's got contacts all over, that's what I'm paying him for.
　　O'BRIEN
　　How much have you paid him?
　　THOMAS
　　A lot. But I'm not worried. I'm taking nothing perishable 5. This lot'll last for months. I'll be sold out long before any of it's gone off.
　　O'BRIEN
　　Starting with Mrs Patmore.
