ACT ONE
[OPENING CREDITS]
[A hand taps out Morse code. A train whistle blows. Mr Bates sits in one of the cars. A woman
takes down the telegram message.]
WOMAN
Oh, my God.
MAN
That's impossible. I'll take it up there now.
WOMAN
Don't be stupid. None of them will be up for hours and what difference will it make?
[She hands him the telegram.]
WOMAN
Jimmy'll do it when he comes in.
April 1912
[DOWNTON ABBEY, SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - MORNING]
[Daisy knocks on the housemaids' bedroom door.]
DAISY
Six o'clock!
[HOUSEMAIDS' BEDROOM - MORNING]
[Gwen sits up in bed.]
GWEN
Thank you, Daisy. Anna.
[Anna stirs in her bed.]
ANNA
For once in my life I'd like to sleep until I woke up natural.
[KITCHENS - MORNING]
MRS PATMORE
Is your fire still in?
DAISY
Yes, Mrs Patmore.
MRS PATMORE
Oh, my, my, will wonders never cease? Have you laid the servants' hall breakfast?
DAISY
Yes, Mrs Patmore.
MRS PATMORE
And finished blacking that stove?
DAISY
Yes, Mrs Patmore.
MRS PATMORE
What about the bedroom fires?
DAISY
All lit, Mrs Patmore.
MRS PATMORE
Right, well, take your things and get started on the fires on the ground floor.
[Daisy carries a bucket of firewood through the servants' hall and up through the main rooms
into the library.]
HOUSEMAID 1 (to Daisy)
Now hurry up.
[Daisy hurries through the library. A footman, Thomas, enters with a silver tray with two drinks.
He collects two more in another room.]
THOMAS
Any sign of William?
HOUSEMAID 2
No.
[Thomas enters the breakfast room where William is laying the tablecloth 1.]
THOMAS
Where have you been?
WILLIAM
I'm not late, am I?
THOMAS
You're late when I say you're late.
[DRAWING ROOM - MORNING]
[Anna and Gwen open the windows and fluff the pillows.]
ANNA
Daisy? Whatever are you doing there crouching 2 in the dark?
DAISY
You weren't here and I didn't want to touch the curtains with my dirty hands.
GWEN
And quite right, too.
ANNA
Why didn't you put the lights on?
DAISY
I daren't.
GWEN
Well, it's electricity, not the devil's handiwork. You'll have to get used to it sooner or later.
ANNA
Skelton Park have even got it in the kitchens.
DAISY
What for?
[SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - MORNING]
[Mrs Hughes, the housekeeper 3, walks with the keys. William knocks on the butler's door while
he's polishing the silver.]
WILLIAM
Breakfast is ready, Mr Carson.
MR CARSON
Ah, William, any papers yet?
WILLIAM
They're late.
MR CARSON
They certainly are. Get the board out so you can do them as soon as they're here.
[William sets up a board used for ironing the newspaper.]
[DRAWING ROOM - MORNING]
MRS HUGHES
Is the library tidy?
ANNA
Yes, Mrs Hughes.
MRS HUGHES
Good. I want the dining room given a proper going over today. You can do it when they've
finished their breakfast. Oh, heavens, girl! You're building a fire, not inventing it. How many
have you done?
DAISY
This is my last till they come downstairs.
MRS HUGHES
Very well. Now, get back down to the kitchens before anyone sees you.
[EXT. DOWNTON - MORNING]
[The paperboy cycles up to Downton. Lady Mary gets out of bed and sees him ride past her
window. She rings the bell.]
[SERVANTS' HALL - MORNING]
[The bell for the Queen Caroline room rings as the servants are eating breakfast.]
THOMAS
And they're off.
MRS HUGHES
No rest for the wicked.
[Mrs Patmore looks at the bells]
MRS PATMORE
Lady Mary. Are the tea trays ready?
[Anna gets up from the table.]
ANNA
All ready, Mrs Patmore, if the water's boiled. Could you give us a hand to take the other two up?
MISS O'BRIEN
I've got Her Ladyship's to carry.
GWEN
I'll help.
[Another bell rings.]
MRS HUGHES
Back door.
MR CARSON
The papers at last. William.
[EXT. BACK DOOR - MORNING]
[The paperboy reads the newspaper as William steps out.]
WILLIAM
You're late.
PAPERBOY
Yeah. I--I know, but--
WILLIAM
But what?
PAPERBOY
You'll see.
[MR CARSON'S OFFICE - MORNING]
[William irons the newspaper.]
MR CARSON
Do The Times first. He only reads that at breakfast, and The Sketch 4 for Her Ladyship. You can
manage the others later if need be.
[William nods as Carson leaves. He starts to fold up the paper, but stops when he sees
something and reads it.]
[SERVANTS' HALL - MORNING]
DAISY
Why are the papers ironed?
MRS PATMORE
What's it to you?
MISS O'BRIEN
To dry the ink, silly. We won't want His Lordship's hands as black as yours.
[More bells ring. Daisy finishes clearing the table and Miss O'Brien gets up.]
WILLIAM
Mr Carson, I think you ought to see this.
[William hands him the newspaper.]
[KITCHENS - MORNING]
MRS HUGHES
I can't make myself believe it.
MRS PATMORE
Me neither.
THOMAS
His Lordship's dressed.
[Mrs Patmore looks over at William who is talking to Daisy.]
MRS PATMORE
William! Will you stop talking and take this kedgeree up, and mind the burners are still lit.
WILLIAM
Yes, Mrs Patmore.
[William takes the dish and heads out.]
THOMAS
Is it really true?
WILLIAM
Afraid so.
MRS PATMORE
Nothing in life is sure.
[BREAKFAST ROOM - MORNING]
[Robert, Earl of Grantham, descends 5 the stairs with his dog.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Morning, Carson.
MR CARSON
Good morning, my lord.
[Robert dishes up the breakfast buffet 6 for himself.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Is it true what they're saying?
MR CARSON
I believe so, my lord.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I'm afraid we'll know some people on it. I don't suppose there are any lists of survivors 7 yet?
MR CARSON
I understand most of the ladies were taken off in time.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
You mean the ladies in first class?
[Carson nods grimly.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
God help the poor devils below decks.
[Robert takes his breakfast to the table and puts the napkin in his lap as he sits down.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
On their way to a better life. What a tragedy.
[Robert opens the newspaper to see a picture of the Titanic 8. Lady Mary and Lady Edith enter and read over his shoulder.]
LADY EDITH
When Anna told me, I thought she must've dreamt it.
LADY MARY
Do we know anyone on board?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Your mother knows the Asters. At least, she knows him. We dined with Lady Rothfuss last month. There are bound to be others.
LADY EDITH
I thought it was supposed to be unsinkable.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it, so every ship is unsinkable until it sinks.
THOMAS
My lady.
[Thomas hands Lady Sybil a tray with the post and she takes the letter before she enters.]
LADY SYBIL
Good morning, Papa.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Morning. What's that?
LADY SYBIL
Just arrived. Telegram.
[Robert opens it while he continues to read the paper. Then he is stunned 10 by the telegram's contents. His daughters stare at him, waiting. He gets up from the table without a word.]
[CORRIDOR - MORNING]
[Robert passes Miss O'Brien as he walks down the hall.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Is Her Ladyship awake?
MISS O'BRIEN
Yes, Milord. I'm just going to take in her breakfast.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Thank you.
[Robert knocks on a door. There's a muffled 11 reply behind the door.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
May I come in?
[Robert enters.]
[INT. LADY GRANTHAM'S BEDROOM - DAY]
[Cora is reading the Daily Sketch.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Isn't this terrible? When you think how excited Lucy Rothfuss was at the prospect 12. It's too awful for any words. Did J.J. Aster 9 get off? Of course, that new wife of his has bound to have been rescued.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I've had a telegram from George Murray. One of his partners is in New York.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Yes?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
It seems James and Patrick were on board.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
What? They can't have been. They weren't going over till may.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Then they changed their plans. They're definitely on the passenger list.
[O'Brien brings the breakfast tray to Cora in bed.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Thank you, O'Brien, that'll be all for the moment. (to Robert) But surely there were picked up?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
It doesn't look like it.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
What?
[Cora puts her breakfast tray aside.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Neither of them? You must tell Mary. She can't hear about it from anyone else.
[Robert nods.]
