Oh, what the hell:

Downton: Predator

> [@](#):
>
> SCENE: Interior LIBRARY. Present is LORD GRANTHAM, CORA GRANTHAM, THE DOWAGER COUNTESS, EDITH, ANNA.
> 
> MR CARSON comes rushing in: “My Lord, I am afraid I have to say they have entered the main hall.”
> 
> LORD GRANTHAM: “All right, Mr. Carson. Well, we knew this day would come, let’s face it stoically, like proper Englishmen. I wish Tom were here, but for his fateful trip to York…”
> 
> Three PREDATORS enter the library, south entrance.
> 
> ANNA: “I would call Mr. Bates, but he’s in prison again.”
> 
> PREDATOR 1: “Let me put you out of your misery” (subtitled, as all PREDATOR lines are).
> 
> P1 shoots ANNA dead, covering the DOWAGER in a mist of gore. Shocked, all are quiet as the PREDATORS turn to face their victims.
> 
> MARY GRANTHAM enters the LIBRARY via the north entrance, all surprised to see her.
> 
> MARY: “I demand to know what is going on here! Papa? Mama? Where’s Anna, I need to start dressing for dinner!”
> 
> PREDATOR 2: “Shut up. We make the demands here.”
> 
> PREDATOR 3 grabs EDITH, points gun at her head.
> 
> PREDATOR 2: “It’s our time now.”
> 
> MARY sits down, the disdain evident on her face.
> 
> MARY: “Oh, good, I never thought this day would come! I get to see Edith put out of her misery. Are you going to do her bastard brat as well?”
> 
> EDITH: “You bitch! I hope they pleasure themselves at your expense, you slut!”
> 
> PREDATORS are shocked at this exchange. They look around, hestitantly… Finally, PREDATOR 2 speaks… English, this time.
> 
> PREDATOR 2, addressing MARY: “But… she’s your sister.”
> 
> MARY: Stares back, silent.
> 
> PREDATOR 2: Stares back, silent.
> 
> MARY: “Well? What are you waiting for?”
> 
> PREDATOR 3: “Damn, that’s some cold-blooded shit.”
> 
> PREDATOR 2: “No wonder they’re so dangerous. They literally don’t GAF. About themselves or anyone.”
> 
> PREDATORS stand down their weapons, confused. Finally, PREDATOR 1 lifts his head, speaks:
> 
> PREDATOR 1: “My apologies Lord Grantham, Dowager. Please send your charges to our man of business in London. And please let Mr. Bates know that we are deeply regretful.”
> 
> PREDATOR 2 and 3 keep a wary, almost scared, eye on MARY as they back out of the library. As the scene progresses, we see them flee the estate through the windows of DOWNTON ABBEY.
> 
> CORA CROWLEY: “Oh, Mary, we’re going to have to get you a new dressing maid. Do you think Mr Mosely…? No.”
> 
> LORD GRANTHAM: “We have an hour before dinner, sorry for the rush everybody, but I must attend to a matter before I get dressed.”
> 
> EVERYONE begins to leave the LIBRARY, camera placed in MAIN HALL
> 
> DOWAGER: “Like Tennyson said when I met him during my fling with Prince Karugin: ‘If it’s not one damned thing, it’s another’.”
> 
> Laughter, camera pans back, the swell of closing music
> 
> END EPISODE.
