Sunday, October 27th, 1985, 9.00am.

The DeLorean slows down. They are still in the air. It's not apparent that they're anywhere else.

SUZY
Did we make it?

SCOTT
According to this display we did. Let's go check this place out. Oh my God, we're in 1985!

SUZY
It can't be real. It can't.

SCOTT
Look down over there where I live. It's just fields. And where's the Hill Valley freeway? It's not even been thought of yet, let alone built.

Suzy gets all excited.

SUZY
We've gotta check this place out. It's gotta be better than the Café 80s. That place is such a fake.

SCOTT
I'm gonna go see my grandparents' house.

The DeLorean swoops across the sky and down toward the house where the McFlys lived in 1985. Biff Tannen is the yard, the garage door is open and Marty's 4-by-4 is parked up inside. He looks up and sees the DeLorean flying down toward the street.

BIFF What the hell? Another flying DeLorean? That's two in two days. What the hell is going on here?

Biff rubs his eyes and shakes his head in disbelief. He doesn't see the DeLorean again.

BIFF
I really need to lay off the liquor.

Biff goes into the garage. The DeLorean drives along and stops near the house.

SCOTT
This place doesn't look much different than it does in 2015. A few less shrubs and stuff, that's about it. It looks like it's had a fresh coat of paint.

The two have a look at the house, mildly impressed.

SCOTT
Where do you want to go Suzy? Where do your folks live?

SUZY
L.A. They didn't move to Hill Valley until 1998. I wouldn't mind seeing what the town looked like. Why don't we go there?

SCOTT
Okay, let's go.

SUZY
Keep an eye out for police. We're gonna have trouble explaining that were two fifteen year old underage drivers from the future if we get caught!

The DeLorean moves on and Biff moves out of the garage unaware of it ever being there.

Scott and Suzy step around the corner into Courthouse Square, by Lou's Aerobic Studio. They look around curiously. The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News can be heard playing inside. They cross the road and local people are going about on a typical Sunday morning in 1985. Red Thomas the local bum is sleeping on the bench. The courthouse clock shows 10:04. A man walks past and throws a newspaper in the bin. Scott pulls it out and looks at the date. It says Sunday October 27 1985.

SCOTT
Do you wanna take this home as a souvenir?

A young man rushing along the street dressed in cowboy gear accidentally bumps into Scott and knocks the newspaper out of his hand. Scott sees it's his father, Marty.

MARTY
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Marty rushes off across the square.

SUZY
Nice cowboy outfit.

SCOTT
Did you see who that was? It was my dad. He must've just got back from 1885. The

DeLorean must be in a wreck near the bridge over at Eastwood Ravine. It was smashed into little pieces.

SUZY
What? The car's been destroyed? How are we gonna get home?

Scott picks up the newspaper and stuffs it into his inside pocket. The two start walking along the road.

SCOTT
Not our DeLorean, Dad's. After we take the car back to 2015, Old Biff, Griff Tannen's grandpa, who was in the Café 80s earlier, will borrow it to take 1955. After that he takes it back to 2015, Mom, Dad & the Doc go back to 1985 to find it messed up 'cause of Biff taking a sports statistics book back in time. Doc and Dad go back to 1955 to sort it out. The Doc gets struck by lightning and goes back to 1885 and hides the car in a mine 'til 1955. Dad goes after Doc to 1885 to stop him getting shot. When Doc gets saved Dad comes back to 1985 leaving Doc behind. When he arrived in 1985, today, the car gets hit by a train and destroyed. That's just happened and Dad's on his way to check up on Mom.

SUZY
That sounds heavy. I think I need to read up on your Dad's story. What happened to the Doc?

SCOTT
He fell in love with a woman whose life he saved. Her name was Clara. He stayed in the old west with her, married and had two kids, Jules and Verne. The Doc built another time machine out of a train and came to visit Dad. I don't know what happened to him after that. Maybe he went back to the old west. We should look him up in the history books.

SUZY
What are we doing messing around with the time machine for then? If we don't get it back to the future, none of what you've just said will happen. They'll be stuck in 2015 and you won't be born for another thirty years, that's even if you even get born at all.

SCOTT
We will get back. My Dad's made it back to today hasn't he?

SUZY
How can we be so sure, maybe time is just presuming we'll get back?

SCOTT
That's true enough. When Mom and Dad first went to 2015, Mom saw the family all old there. Why would they be there if their younger selves hadn't got back safely back to here in 1985 yet? I gather time works out, presumes or guesses bits. If you think about it too much it makes your head hurt.

SUZY
We ought to take the DeLorean back before we do any damage to the timeline. The stuff about time travel I've seen on TV shows you can mess things up pretty badly.

SCOTT
Don't worry; we'll be home for tea. As long as we keep out of trouble we'll be okay. Just watch you don't step on any butterflies. I've heard that's disastrous.

Suzy gives Scott a look as if to say 'This is serious.'

The pair head off and arrive outside the local 7/11 store.

SCOTT
The 7/11! Dad used to hang out here. Fancy a Pepsi?

They go inside the store, all 1980s food is all over the place, and some video game machines are along the wall. Wild Gunman stands out. Scott grabs two Diet Pepsis out of the fridge and heads to the counter.

SCOTT
Cool, check these cans out. Retro!

A punk girl about 18-years-old purposely bumps into Scott as she passes him in the aisle.

SCOTT
Hey, watch it. Who the hell do you think you are?

TIFF TANNEN
I'm Tiff Tannen, who the hell are you, butthead?

SCOTT
Tiff Tannen? Get outa town. You're a Tannen?

TIFF
Too right I'm a Tannen. Remember the name. You'd be wise to keep out of my way.

SCOTT
You got into my way, just watch what you're doing.

TIFF
You want to watch who you're squaring up to dork. I might just take you outside and teach you a lesson.

SCOTT
Anytime, I'm not scared by the likes of you.

Tiff's gang of three punk girls appear around the corner ready for a bit of action.

SUZY
I thought we were staying out of trouble Scott. We ought to be getting out of here. Just say you're sorry and let's go.

TIFF
What were you saying Butthead? I suggest you make like a tree and get out of here.

Scott stands defiantly.

SCOTT
I said I'm not scared by the likes of you.

Tiff grabs Scott by the scruff of the neck and lifts him off the ground.

TIFF
Looks like I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson.

Just then Mr. Strickland the school Principal comes into sight carrying a shopping basket.

MR STRICKLAND
Tannen, what do you think you're doing?

Tiff lowers down Scott and dusts her t-shirt with her hands.

TIFF
Oh hi there Mr. Strickland sir, out getting a few groceries are you? I was just joking around with an old friend here. Nothing to worry yourself about sir.

MR STRICKLAND
Cut the attitude Tannen, you're too much like your old man. He was just like you when he was your age. Someone is going to end up teaching you a lesson just like George McFly did to your father when he was pushed too far. I notice he's not so brave these days is he? Who's this you're hassling? Is he a student at the High School?

Mr. Strickland turns round and discovers that Scott and Suzy have made a run for it.

Tiff mutters to herself.

TIFF
Wait 'til I get my hands on that little runt.

Scott and Suzy are hurrying along the John F Kennedy Drive. They pass by Burger King

and Doc's garage. They are not aware that it's Doc's place and keep going.

SUZY
I don't think we should be hanging around here. Messing with people like that will get us in trouble. We should get back home and soon.

SCOTT
I don't take any crap from Griff Tannen, so I'm sure I'm not gonna take any from her, his mother or aunt, or whoever she is. My brother cowers down to him, look at the mess that nearly got him into.

SUZY
Let's just go home.

Scott and Suzy arrive back at the DeLorean and climb inside. Scott taps the October 21 2015 4.45pm on the display.

SUZY
We really should drive along the road so we don't cause any distraction. We shouldn't have flown in 2015 either. There's a good long straight bit of road down by Hilldale, that'll be enough to get a good speed up.

Scott pulls a face, sulking.

SCOTT
I still think we should go somewhere else. We have a once in a lifetime chance of travelling through time to where ever we want and you want to do is go home.

SUZY
I want a home to go to. We could mess up the future. The stuff I've seen on TV always about that sort of thing. What does your Dad's story say about things like that happening?

SCOTT
There were small changes. The Lone Pine shopping mall was called Twin Pines before dad accidentally destroyed one of the pine trees it was names after. Eastwood Ravine was once called Clayton Ravine.

SUZY
How weird would that be? Going home and your street has a different name or something. What was that hoverboard thing about anyway?

SCOTT
The hoverboard! When my dad first went to 2015 cars flew and skateboards hovered. Something changed to stop all that. I'd love to know where that hoverboard came from in our reality.

SUZY
Well let's go back to 2015 and find out.

They arrive at the end of straight road near Hilldale. Scott revs the engine up and starts speeding down the road.

The speedometer inside the DeLorean shows an increase in speed.

SCOTT
Last chance Suzy; you could be getting top grades in history if you change your mind now. The fourth dimension is a vast place to explore.

SUZY
I just want to go home.

Scott sits thoughtfully for a moment, looks at the destination date on the dial, and then looks across at Suzy.

At the Hilldale traffic lights. Marty and Jennifer are in Marty's 4-by-4.

MARTY
Hilldale. Hilldale! This is where we live...I...I mean; this is, uh, this is where we're gonna live. Someday.

Marty smiles sheepishly to cover himself. Jennifer gives him a strange look.

JENNIFER
Marty...it was a dream, wasn't it?

Another truck pulls up next to him. It's 17-year-old Douglas Needles, Marty's enemy, with his gang of three. Needles has the radio on loudly. The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News is playing in the truck.

NEEDLES
Hey! The big "M". How's it hanging, McFly?

MARTY
Hey, Needles.

NEEDLES
Nice set of wheels. Let's see what she can do...next green light.

MARTY
No thanks.

NEEDLES
What's the matter? Chicken?

Needles's gang start laughing and egg Marty on.

NEEDLES'S GANG MEMBER
McFly!

Marty looks at him, and Jennifer holds Marty's hand.

JENNIFER
Marty...don't!

Marty pulls a lever.

MARTY
Grab a hold of something.

Needles and his gang cheer.

NEEDLES'S GANG MEMBER
Come on!

NEEDLES
Get on! Yeah, go!

They get more excited as time passes. They keep revving up the engine, as does Marty.

Inside the DeLorean, Scott looks at the time display, pauses for a second, and turns to Suzy.

SCOTT
Hey what's that out of the window?

He points out of Suzy's side window, she turns to look, and Scott starts tapping a new date in the time machine.

At the Hilldale traffic lights. The light turns green, and the trucks speed off - Needles goes forwards and Marty shoots backwards.

Inside the DeLorean, Suzy, who can't see anything out of the window, turns round and sees Marty's 4-by-4 speeding backwards towards them.

Suzy screams.

SUZY
SCOTT! LOOK OUT!

Scott still tapping the date in the machine looks up, the speedometer is at 87mph. He sees the 4-by-4 right in front of the DeLorean. Suddenly there's a pitch-black silence.
