Downton Abbey: A New Era | The Dowager Makes An Important Announcement | Extended Preview

[Music] i've had a letter from mr murray he's coming to downton on tuesday what do you want him for well it wasn't me it was your grandmother who summoned him he'd like us there you should be with us oh dear why'd you say that there's only one reason old ladies summon their lawyers [Music] do sit down i feel like andromeda change will rock with you not hovering over me i don't know why murray told you to be here without asking me first nor do we ah danker a mr murray will be here soon he's here now milady he he says you're expecting him why didn't you tell me you shouldn't be so untrusting ah have you told them lady grantham good please she's told us nothing well that's easily done i've come into possession of a villa in the south of france and now i've given it to my great-granddaughter sibby what so what bit didn't you understand i don't understand any of it what villa where this is too extraordinary for any words it's called la villa de colombe and it's near too long but why was it yours and why even never said anything about it because i thought it was a joke start at the beginning years ago before you were born i was in france and i met a man the marquis de mont mirai and he invited me to spend some time at a villa he just bought a year or so later he wrote to me and said he'd transferred the villa into my name i never thought he was serious so i didn't pay any attention but it wasn't a joke it seems not he died recently and to his widow's alarm the villa they've been using every winter for years was registered to lady grantham he never changed it now i'll need some signatures oh yes why have you given it to your children are well set up here and edith's are more than taken care of but brampton will go to a child of tom and lucy's so darning sybil's only daughter will inherit little and i wanted to correct that what family did he have this mirai chap the widow and the son the present marquis the mother is keen they should take the matter to court well you can't blame her why if her husband wanted me to have the place who are we to argue you never thought to turn it down do i look as if i turned down a villa in the south of france [Music] miss murray may i ask a favor please i have a task for you it's all explained in this letter i'll telephone in a few days in case there are questions of course lady grantham now i hear my train calling goodbye mr murray and thank you [Music] you want me to tell you why he did it when the truth is i do not know with that i will say good night and leave you to discuss my mysterious past now danke don't steer me i'm not a racing car more's the pity i beg your pardon are you ready it does seem odd they spent a few days together in the same resort more than 60 years ago and he gives her a house i suppose he wasn't just a lunatic that's what they'll try to prove well i think it's marvelous of granny to take care of sibby even if mystere de mourmer i was as mad as a rat but why did mama never say a word as far as she's concerned she received a very eccentric letter more than half a century ago she considered it potty at the time and never gave it another thought [Music] a telephone call for you my lord who is it uh mr barber says he's from british lion what's that it's a film company isn't it i better find out what he wants what would they do with the villa in the summer they can't let it nobody goes there then oh they do know well surely it's too hot apparently not [Music] mr barber turns out to be a producer and director he wanted to practice chrono photography here it's not the stone age for park you mean he wants to make a film at downton what did you say i let him down gently then i'll bring him back i want to hear what he has to offer what's the point i suppose there'd be a fee when does henry get home not in time for this where is he now his last message was from istanbul or somewhere but as far as i'm concerned the whole idea of a rally is barmy you can manage it without him i see so it's down to me is it we can't expect us to deal with kinema people first let's just listen to his proposal come along mary i'll keep you company the money would be useful surely is everything all right with henry he's in love with cars he's in love with speed he's in love with adventure he's also in love with me i think but i don't seem to cancel out the other three and you thought you would i suppose i did [Music] it's perfect until recently filmmaking was largely confined to the studios but now the process is opened up abel gonz says napoleon last year showed what a camera can do on location filming in real houses real landscapes what sort of film is it the gambler is set in 1875. uh an earl's daughter lady anne erskine falls in love with a man who turns out to be a gambler to her family's horror i can imagine they meet at a house party in the country and things soon spin out of control there are visits to a smart gambling club which we do here a gambling club at downton that would finish granny off and for part two we must have time to think of course here's my card ring me if you have any questions at all i'll get barra to see you out i suppose there are two questions that we would need the answer to before we can really have the discussion we'd be here for about a month and if you turn the card over you'll see what we'd pay but of course that's negotiable goodbye mr barber goodbye and that's the starting point you
