Right now we've got to concentrate on keeping ourselves alive.





The Designated Survivor
They can't get in. 
Old windows and doors. Okay. 
The older something is, 
the stronger it is. 

What else? 

Go and check the other doors! Move! 


JACKIE
What's happening? 
What are they? 
What are they? 


The Designated Survivor
There's been an accident in time. 
A wound in time. They're like bacteria, 
taking advantage. 


JACKIE
What do you mean, ‘Time’? 
What're you jabbering on about, ‘Time’? 


The Designated Survivor
Oh, I might've known you'd argue
Jackie, I'm sick of you complaining. 


JACKIE
How do you know my name? 


The Designated Survivor
I haven't got time for this…..

JACKIE
I've never met you in my life! 


The Designated Survivor
No, and you never will 
unless I sort this out. 
Now, if you don't mind, 
I've waited a long time to say this. 

Jackie Tyler, Do as I Say
Go and Check The Doors. 


JACKIE
Yes, sir. 


The Designated Survivor
I should have done that ages ago. 


STUART
My Dad was out there….

The Designated Survivor 
You can mourn him later. 
Right now we've got to concentrate 
on keeping ourselves alive. 

STUART
My Dad had —


The Designated Survivor 
There's nothing I can do for him. 


STUART
No, but he had this phone thing
I can't get it to work. 
I keep getting this voice. 


BELL : 
Watson, come here. I need you. 
Watson, come here. I need you. 


The Designated Survivor
That's the very first phone call. 
Alexander Graham Bell. 
I don't think the telephone's 
going to be much use. 


STUART
But someone must have 
called The Police. 


The Designated Survivor
Police can't help you now. 
No one can. 
Nothing in this universe 
can harm those things. 

Time's been damaged 
and they've come 
to sterilise The Wound
By consuming everything inside. 

ROSE
Is this because…? 
Is this my fault?





The Designated Survivor
I did it again. I picked another STUPID ape. 

I should've known. It's not about showing you Theniverse. 
It never is. It's about the universe doing something for YOU

ROSE
So it's okay when YOU go to other times, 
and you save people's lives, 
but not when it's me saving my dad. 

The Designated Survivor
I know what I'm doing, you don’t.




Two sets of us being there made that a vulnerable point. 

ROSE: 
But he's ALIVE! 

The Designated Survivor
My entire PLANET died. 
My whole family. 

Do you think it never occurred to me to go back and save them? 

ROSE: 
But it's not like 
I've changed history. Not much

I mean he's never going to be 
A World Leader. 

He's not going to start 
World War Three or anything. 

The Designated Survivor
Rose, There's A Man alive 
in The World 
who wasn't alive before
An ORDINARY Man. 

That's The Most Important Thing 
in Creation. 

The Whole World's DIFFERENT 
because He’s Alive.
