　　[EXT. BATTLEFRONT, TRENCHES 1 - DAY]
　　[Matthew reads Mary's letter.]
　　LADY MARY
　　"So there we have it. I look forward to introducing the two of you, just as soon as you are next at home, which naturally, I trust will be very soon indeed. Please be glad for me, as I will always be for you. Your affectionate cousin, Mary."
　　[note actually reads: "...happy to hear has come to pass. I look forward to introducing you to Sir Richard, just as soon as..."]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　No, we don't need anyone with us. The Sergeant 2 knows what we're doing.
　　[Matthew picks up the stuffed dog that Mary gave him, which is sitting next to Lavinia's picture.]
　　WILLIAM
　　But what are we patrol in for?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　You've been taking those logic 3 pills again. This is the army, Mason. We're going on a patrol, because we're going on a patrol.
　　WILLIAM
　　Has Mary set a date yet for the wedding?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　She doesn't say. I think she's hoping the war will be over soon and they can set a date then.
　　WILLIAM
　　She could've waited and told you when she saw you.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I don't think she knows I'm due back. Have you warned Daisy or will it be a surprise?
　　WILLIAM
　　No, I told her we're coming to Downton first. Then I'll visit me dad and go back to see her for a day at the end.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Just think fresh Yorkshire air followed by London and Miss Swire.
　　WILLIAM
　　All right for some, sir.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　You'd never swap 4 though, would you?
　　WILLIAM
　　No, I'd never swap.
　　[EXT. COURTYARD - DAY]
　　[Thomas and O'Brien on a smoke break.]
　　O'BRIEN
　　Bates in a pub? I can't see that. I think your pal's mistaken.
　　[Daisy walks by.]
　　THOMAS
　　He met him here twice before the war. Listen, "I said to him, 'Hello, Mr Bates.' and he walked off and wouldn't serve me after."
　　O'BRIEN
　　Next thing you know, we'll have Anna running across the county dragging him back by his stick.
　　THOMAS
　　I'm surprised he isn't here of his own accord with His Lordship having no valet since the loony went.
　　O'BRIEN
　　Don't speak ill of Mr Lang.
　　THOMAS
　　You're a funny one. Talk about sweet and sour. Better get back.
　　[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]
　　MRS BIRD
　　Want a cup?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Not really.
　　MRS BIRD
　　What were you doing?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Let's see. I've tidied the study, twice. And I've rearranged the coats in the hall. I might check his clothes for moth 5. What about you?
　　MRS BIRD
　　We've cleaned everything three times over. And I've sent Beth into the village for some eggs to pickle 6, though the mistress doesn't really like them.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Well, she never eats properly anyway. Not on her own. I [?] can't do much with supper on a tray.
　　[A dirty, homeless man walks into the kitchen with a cane 7.]
　　STRANGER
　　Beg pardon for troubling you, only the door was open.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Yeah, but the front gate was not.
　　STRANGER
　　No.
　　MRS BIRD
　　What do you want?
　　STRANGER
　　Have you got any spare food?
　　MRS BIRD
　　Spare food? What's that when it's at home?
　　[The man nods and starts to leave.]
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Hang on, hang on. Wait. You from around here?
　　STRANGER
　　Not far. I used to work on the farm once, but, er...
　　[He indicates his cane and bad leg.]
　　STRANGER
　　Not anymore.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　You get that in the war?
　　STRANGER
　　Don't pity me. I'm one of the lucky ones.
　　[Moseley and Mrs Bird exchange a look.]
　　MRS BIRD
　　I might have something for you.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Come on.
　　[EXT. BATTLEFRONT - DAY]
　　[Matthew and William sneak 8 along a hedgerow. A cigarette drops in front of Matthew and they duck into hiding. Germans stand around talking above them. Matthew motions and they head back the way they came. They rush through some woods and find some patrolling Germans. More German soldiers appear behind them. They make a run for it as the Germans open fire.]
　　[EXT/INT. DOWNTON - DAY]
　　[Mr Molesley walks to Downton. He approaches Mr Carson who is sweeping 9 Lord Grantham's uniform and knocks on the door frame.]
　　MR CARSON
　　Hello, Mr Molesley.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　They told me you were up here. I hope you don't mind my bothering you.
　　MR CARSON
　　Not a bit. What can I do for you?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Well, actually, Mr Carson I've been thinking there might be something I could do for you.
　　MR CARSON
　　Mm?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　That brushing, for instance.
　　[Mr Carson chuckles 10 and hands Mr Molesley the brush.]
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　I don't like having nothing to do. What with Captain Crawley away at the war and with his mother in France alongside him, and then His Lordship's without a valet a--and your plate is piled so high.
　　MR CARSON
　　I am quite occupied, it's true.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　So, I thought I'd look in and give you a hand. Brushing, mending, cleaning shoes, whatever's needed.
　　MR CARSON
　　Well, that's kind of you, Mr Molesley. We shall have to watch ourselves or else His Lordship will want to pinch you off Captain Crawley.
　　[Molesley chuckles.]
　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - DAY]
　　DAISY
　　But he said he'd be here by now and he's not.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　You mustn't worry about him, Daisy.
　　DAISY
　　I'm not worried like that exactly. But this is William. I think we should all be worried.
　　MRS HUGHES
　　Anything might've happened. Maybe his leave was cancelled. At times like these, people vanish and turn up again in the strangest places.
　　DAISY
　　Like Mr Bates in that pub.
　　[Daisy realises Mrs Hughes has stopped walking and turns around to look at her.]
