Author's Note: This is written very much like a script. My first story that way. It's not an official script, of course, as it resembles the movie too much, but I think it's good and it's written like a fourth movie should be written, and split up into four parts. I hope you'll like it.

LAST MOMENTS FROM PART THREE

1

EXT. EASTWOOD RAVINE

MARTY, 17, and JENNIFER, 17, walk around at the spot the DeLorean found it's end. Marty sighs. Jennifer is looking at everything curiously, but sad.

JENNIFER

You're right. There's not much left.

MARTY

Doc's never coming back.

(beat)

I'm sure gonna miss him, Jen.

Suddenly, the train bells start ringing. Marty and Jennifer look both startled and confused to both sides – THERE ARE NO TRAINS COMING! Marty takes a step forwards.

MARTY

(to himself)

What the hell?

Then, three sonic booms are heard and A HUGE TRAIN APPEARS IN THE SKY, COMING OUT OF NOWHERE!

Marty and Jennifer are thrown backwards to the grass!

Both of them look up to the train in amazement!

We get a better look at the train as the camera comes up to it – it has all weird inventions on it, and there is in large letters written 'ELB' to the side.

A familiar figure pokes his head out of the cab – it's DOC BROWN, now 75, wearing 1890s clothes including a top hat. Marty gasps at the sight of him!

MARTY

Doc!

Doc looks around bewildered, and now also sees Marty.

DOC

Marty!

MARTY

Doc! Doc!

DOC

Marty! It runs on steam!

Immediately after that, Doc opens the cab door – to reveal CLARA standing next to him! This Clara, now 39, looks the same as she did earlier on when Doc saved her in 1885. Doc pats an arm around here.

DOC

Meet the family. Clara you know.

CLARA

(excitedly)

Hi Marty!

Marty looks up and smiles, happy.

MARTY

Ma'am!

DOC

These are our boys!

He shoves a boy from about seven or eight to the front, who is also wearing 1890s clothes.

DOC (contin'd)

Jules!

He shoves another boy, who looks like he's about six, to the front.

DOC (contin'd)

And Verne.

(to his boys)

Boys, this is Marty and Jennifer.

The boys wave to the teenagers, and they wave back.

MARTY

Doc, I thought I'd never see you again!

DOC

Smiles.

DOC

You can't keep a good scientist down. After all, I had to come back for Einstein and well, I didn't want you to be worried about me.

CLARA gives Doc a parcel.

DOC

Oh!

(turns to Marty)

I brought you a little souvenir!

Doc sits down at the cab steps, as Marty receives the parcel from him.

Marty immediately opens it, curious what to find.

It reveals to be a photograph of him and Doc at the 1885 clock tower.

MARTY

It's great Doc. Thanks.

JENNIFER

Doctor Brown?

She steps to the front, picking out a note out of her pocket – it's the BLANK FAX FROM PART TWO! She shows it to Doc.

JENNIFER

I brought this note back from the future, and now it's erased!

DOC

(excited)

Of course it's erased!

Marty and Jennifer look at each other, puzzled.

JENNIFER

But what does that mean?

DOC

It's means, that your future hasn't been written yet! No one's has! Your future is… whatever you make it! So make it a good one! Both of you!

MARTY

Grins.

MARTY

We will, Doc!

DOC

Stand back!

MARTY and JENNIFER do so.

DOC closes the train doors – from now on, they'll talk through the hole in the cab door.

DOC

(to his kids)

All right boys, buckle up!

MARTY

Hey Doc!

Doc looks at him.

MARTY

Where ya going now… back to the future?

Doc smiles and shakes his head.

DOC

Nope! Already been there!

He goes to the drivers seat, while Marty and Jennifer watch.

2: EXT. TRAIN.

The train's wheels go up!

The machine goes up in the sky, and blasts off to the other side of the ravine!

It then turns around, heads towards the camera up to 88 miles per hour!

The time machine BREAKS THE TIME BARRIER with A BRILLIANT FLASH OF LIGHT and THREE LOUD SONIC BOOMS, leaving TWIN TRAILS OF FIRE BEHIND IN THE SKY!

3. EXT. TRAINTRACKS

Down below, JENNIFER GASPS IN AMAZEMENT!

Marty grins at her.

MARTY

Relax Jen. It's just a time machine.

Jennifer smiles.

JENNIFER

You must have had quite a weekend. Travelling around through time…

MARTY

(grins)

You bet.

They walk to Marty's truck.

3. 'THE END' is displayed on screen.

It vanishes to read: 'OR NOT?'

FADES TO BLACK.

4. EXT. HOUSING ESTATE

The darkness vanishes into a dark housing estate. It's night.

5. INT. HOUSE

We pan around the walls to see: An October 22 2015 Newspaper GANG JAILED – Hoverboard Rampage Destroys Courthouse, a BIFF TANNEN'S AUTO DETAILING matchbox, as well as GRIFF TANNEN'S CAP from Part Two.

We move through the room to see it's a garage… and finally, we arrive to see a DMC DELOREAN!

Then, a figure comes walking up in the distance. As he begins to talk, it's certain – it's a TANNEN.

TANNEN

It's been quite a long time now.

He GROWLS IN ANGER.

TANNEN

Ever since that one day in '15, when that bug Martin McFly Jr punched me out, he screwed up me life! He got me in jail, made me sit twenty years for my so-called crime… and when I got out, I was forced to be his servant! Well, but not for long anymore.

The Tannen walks up to the DeLorean and opens the GULLWINGDOOR. We can see the interior – it's a time machine. The time circuits are off.

6: INT. DELOREAN.

He then lies a book on the desk. We can see it clearly – it's GRAY'S SPORTS ALMANAC 2000-2050!

The Tannen leaves. We can now hear a TV hum in the distance.

ANNOUNCER (V.O)

Ladies and gentlemen, it's now only eight minutes left before the new year. Let's have fun together!

TANNEN (from out of the car)

Buttheads.

7. EXT. DELOREAN

We see the Tannen enter the time machine.

8. INT. DELOREAN

The Tannen, who is clearly Griff, activates the time circuits.

9. EXT. TIME CIRCUITS

The time readouts are saying: Destination Time December 31 2060 12:00 AM, Present Time December 31 2060 11:52 PM and Last Time Departed December 30 2060 11:55 PM.

10. EXT. DELOREAN.

We can hear Griff inside mess around with the time circuits – the DeLorean's WHEELS THEN LIFT UP, and it heads into the sky.

11. EXT. NIGHTSKY – 2060.

The DeLorean rapidly accelerates, let's out blue flashes, and then, while it's out of sight, it disappears into the night with three sonic booms!

12. EXT. DARKNESS.

Slowly, a logo appears on screen – the logo for BACK TO THE FUTURE: PART IV!

Credits roll.

After the credits, we

CUT TO:

13. EXT. HILL VALLEY, EVENING – 2045.

It is Hill Valley, indeed: but it looks terrifying! We move through the entire town, but finally arrive at the familiar Courthouse Square, which looks dark and cloudy. There is a lot of smoke in the air, and there's an obvious stench around.

The BLAST FROM THE PAST shop looks abandoned, and the worn-off sign is still intact. (NOTE: There's a sign next to it that tells that manure hauling is strictly forbidden in the city of Hill Valley! The sign is, however, altered, causing it to read 'Hell Valley' once again.)

We then pass the future site of the CAFÉ 80S – it is now called 'GRIFF'S CAFÉ'. Huge pictures of Griff at younger ages and various Tannen family members are all around it, and a huge version of Griff's present-day picture is in the 'G'.

We then move to the centre of town. The courthouse has been once again converted into a large casino – on top is the sign 'Griff's', and down below it reads GRIFF TANNEN'S PLEASURE PARADISE! (The tree in front of the Paradise's previous incarnations, Hill Valley Courthouse, is cut off – you can see the remains of it quite clearly).

The clock has been replaced by a working one, which reads now 9:30 PM.

Right next to the Paradise is the Griff Tannen Museum, along with the Tannen Family Museum.

We move back to Griff's Café, while displaying the whole Square. It's ran down, and there are tanks driving around with the 'GriffCo' logo on it. Also, there are shops selling sex movies and other things related to it all around the town square. Essex Theatre/Holomax is now 'HOLOWAR'. There's a movie playing, WAR WORLD 12, directed by Griff's Universal: This time it's really, really bloody.

14. INT. GRIFF'S CAFÉ.

We pan around the Café, where are all pictures of Griff and his winnings. In the place of the televisions of Part II 2015, there are now all screens with Griff at various ages, beginning in 2013 and then every other year until the present.

In the middle, there is a huge sign at the roof saying: 'Date: 10.21.45'. It's exactly thirty years after the events of the second movie.

There are waiters flying around, all resembling Griff and other members of the Tannen family.

A distorted and very old Michael Jackson music clip is playing, as in the Café 80s.

MICHAEL JACKSON MUSIC IMPERSONATOR

(very rough and distorted)

Don't bea-a-ht it! Don't bea-a-ht it!

(a pause)

Gr-r-r-riff Tannen can not be defe-he-he-heated!

We then zoom into a some-what NERDY TEENAGER, who's busy scribbling some notes on a notepad. We only see him from the back, but we can make out the vague outlines of a drawing of 2015 Hill Valley.

We then hear that, in the background, the door SLAMS OPEN!

VOICE (O.S)

Hey McFly!

The kid turns around to the direction of the call, and we can see his face. He looks EXACTLY LIKE MARTY! There is no doubt, this is THE SON OF MARTY JUNIOR! He is, however, while being nerdy, a bit better looking than his father.

We see the teen gulp. We then pan over to the person who'd called. He looks EXACTLY LIKE TEENAGE GRIFF TANNEN! It is, of course, XIFF TANNEN! He's with his gang of three persons, who look rather similar to the way that Griff Senior's gang looked in Part Two.

XIFF

Hey I'm talking to you McFly.

(pauses)

You Irish bug.

The nerdy teenager tries to smile a little, but he's clearly not happy.

NERDY TEENAGER

Oh, hi Xiff. How's it goin'? Why are

you coming here to see me?

Xiff walks over to the teen, but is interfered by doing so by a waiter, resembling DRIFF 'REVENGE TRIGGER' TANNEN.

DRIFF

Hey butthead, welcome to Griff's Café, where it's always morning in America, even in the afternoon.

Xiff pushes the waiter away. He continues his walk towards the teenager, and as he reaches him, he taps him on the head.

XIFF

Hello, hello, anybody home? Think, McFly,

think! I'm coming here because our father forbid

us to be in the Café after nine P.M.

(smiles)

And you know what happens when you don't

follow Dad's orders…

With all the strength and courage the nerdy teen has into him, he pushes Xiff off. We can now clearly see that he is more confident than MJ – most likely somewhere in-between Marty Junior and Marty Senior.

TEENAGER

And you know he's not my Dad, Xiff!

(pauses)

Marty McFly Jr is my Dad. Why do you think

I'm named Marty III, huh?

Yeah, we finally find out what the boy's name is!

XIFF

(kindly)

Maybe to show what kind of butthead you

are, like all the other McFly's? You'd

better off being a Tannen.

MARTY

My family members are not buttheads!

XIFF and the GANG all roll their eyes… they've heard this before.

XIFF

No sure they aren't.

(spots drawing)

Hey, what's that?

He picks up the drawing, and examines it.

15. EXT. DRAWING

We see it – it's Hill Valley's Courthouse Square, 2015. Xiff laughs at it, then places it down again.

16. EXT. XIFF AND MARTY.

XIFF

Nice draw, butthead. Only I believe

your subject is Math right now, not history.

(looks around)

And besides, why draw the Square in 2015 when

it's way more beautiful in 2045?

Now it's Marty's time to roll his eyes. He sighs.

MARTY

You call this beautiful?

XIFF slaps him on the back.

XIFF

Yeah I do: and you better to. As for that,

you better be watching your back when you walk

at school today.

MARTY nods bored.

XIFF

(smiles)

Okay.

(to his gang)

C'mon guys! Let's get to the casino, see if there are some girls to hang around with, if ya know what I mean!

The gang all cheer. Xiff turns to Marty one more time.

XIFF

See ya later, McFly.

(spots drawing)

Oh, I almost forgot.

He takes the draw, has a look at it, then tears it up.

Marty is FURIOUS!

MARTY

You BASTARD!

He tries to jump at Xiff, but the gang stops him and holds him in the air. .

Xiff laughs.

XIFF

It wasn't worth anything anyway.

(to his gang)

Put him down.

The gang does so, causing Marty to fall on the ground!

They all laugh.

The GANG exits through the door, pushing out the way the people who are in their way. Xiff goes latest.

Marty sighs, taking up the pieces of his draw, and places them in his pocket. He heads over to the door, but doesn't notice that a girl, one of the clients that was pushed away by Xiff, stuffs a note in his pocket.

Sighing, Marty exits.

17. EXT. CAFÉ

Marty grabs a Mattel-HOVERBOARD, looking pretty identical to the one in Part II but light blue instead, and starts to hoverboard away with it. He is pretty good at it.

18. EXT. CAFÉ DOOR

We zoom in on the GIRL, who's watching Marty through the glass of the café.

GIRL

I do hope he got my message…

19. EXT. COURTHOUSE SQUARE

We watch Marty hoverboard, and grab the back of a tank. He passes another run-down sign saying 'Welcome to the City of Hell Valley' instead of 'Hill Valley', which also states that Griff is mayor, and makes his way to the Paradise.

20. EXT. PLEASURE PARADISE

We zoom in on Marty, as he lets go of the tank, and hovers towards the paradise. He then stops it, goes off, and takes his hoverboard by the hand as he enters the steps of the Pleasure Paradise.

A monitor comes over to him.

HOVERING MONITOR

Come and see the Griff Tannen Museum, where you can learn everything about the richest man of Hill Valley, and about…

MARTY

(bored)

I know that already.

The monitor looks at Marty as he passes, a bit disappointed.

HOVERING MONITOR

Kids.

A woman runs up to Marty III.

WOMAN

Save the Tannens, save the Tannen family! Hey kid, interested in making a donation to the Preserve Tannen Phrases Fund? We already managed to legalize the saying 'make like a tree and get out of here', as well as 'hunt someone down and shoot him down like a duck'. Now, we only need to get rid of those stupid head-butts who think the correct saying should be 'as funny as a screen door on a submarine'.

MARTY

Sorry, not interested.

The woman looks after him, equally disappointed.

21. EXT. HALLWAY

A lift stops, and Marty steps out, no longer carrying his hoverboard. He starts walking in the left direction.

Then, a girl runs up to him. It's his sister, JENNIFER, 18, who looks just like Claudia Wells Jennifer from Part One.

JENNIFER

Marty, come quick: Griff… father is going to catch you. You're home too late for his tastes.

MARTY

I know, I know. His son already confronted me about it.

JENNIFER

(shakes head)

Marty, you really should stop coming so late. You know how father reacts around you.

MARTY

He's not my father, Jen. Neither is he yours.

JENNIFER

I know Marty, but he adopted us. So, he's our father somehow. With Dad's fortune to fall away back in '32, and Grandpa's property being taken by government later, us McFlys became real poor. Marrying father was for Mom the only choice.

Marty sighs.

MARTY

I know, but still I can't understand it.

They reach the door of Marty's room. Marty's about to enter, when…

GRIFF (O.S)

JENNIFER!

JENNIFER

(terrified)

Oh no it's our father.

MARTY

(shakes head)

Our father?

22. EXT. HALLWAY – OTHER SIDE

GRIFF, AGED 49, enters through a door. He looks similar to Biff-A from Part 2. He's obviously furious. SUZY, 47, is with him. She is wearing make-up, and has an immense breast-implant, larger than Lorraine's!

GRIFF

(to Marty)

You're supposed to be in bed, you little son of a bitch! Did you again stay at the Café 'till 9:30?

(to Suzy)

Darn it Suzy, when will that little brat you brought to this world ever learn?

Suzy slaps Griff on the cheek, hard.

SUZY

Probably earlier than you will.

Griff stares there a few seconds, motionless…

And then, he kicks Suzy down to the ground!

Marty is HORRIFIED!

MARTY

Mom!

GRIFF

(to Marty)

Keep yourself outta this.

(to Suzy)

Now, did you learn?

Suzy sighs.

SUZY

I guess I did.

GRIFF smiles. That's the behaviour he wants from his wife.

GRIFF

Good. Now why don't you make like a tree, and get to your room.

Griff EXITS.

SUZY climbs up. Marty goes over and assists her, while Jennifer watches.

MARTY

I can't believe it Mom! Why did you let Griff get to you! Why did you marry him, in the first place!

SUZY

Marty, you know that story.

MARTY

I do, but I don't understand it. At all.

SUZY

Well, when you get my age, or your father's age, you will understand it. That's life, children… it's no less fair than it's destined to be.

Suzy exits, too.

Marty SNORTS.

MARTY

If that's so, then I hate destiny.

Jennifer sighs.

JENNIFER

Mom's right, Marty; this is how life played out for us, and you can't change time. Now if you will excuse me, I've got to go to bed. See you tomorrow, Marty.

Marty looks at her leave.

MARTY

See you too, Jen.

He enters his room.

23. EXT. MARTY'S ROOM.

It's quite messy, with a huge picture of Marty Jr above the bed, holding a guitar. Other, there are some old newspapers, including 'Marty McFly Jr Murdered – Local Rock Musician Shot Dead, Police Looking For Witnesses', and 'Marty McFly Sr Committed – Local Ex-Rock Star Declared Insane.'

Marty sits down with a sigh.

He puts a hand in his pocket… and then frowns. Something's wrong. He takes a NOTE out of his pocket – the one the girl in the Café gave him.

Marty quickly unfolds it, curious what it will say.

24. EXT. NOTE

'Marty, if you want to have a normal life again, meet me tomorrow morning at 1.15am, October 22nd 2045, at the abandoned Lone Pine Mall. Don't question this, please do it.'

25. EXT. ROOM

Marty stares at it in disbelief. He re-reads it.

MARTY

1.15 in the morning?

He chuckles, and SHAKES HIS HEAD.

MARTY

(to himself)

No way.

He gets up, and throws the paper in the trash can.

He then goes to lie down. We notice that he isn't wearing pyjamas, just like his grandfather would!

We zoom into the clock, which says 10PM, then zoom out again.

26. EXT. ROOM-DARKNESS

We see at the clock it's 11PM now – one hour after our last 'visit'. Still, Marty is awake.

Suddenly, he bolts up, and walks up to the trashcan. He takes out the paper.

MARTY

(to himself)

I can't believe I'm doing this. I shouldn't go to someone in the early morning, and Griff will blame me heavily if I get caught getting out. On the other hand, if I do get a normal life out of it…

He checks the note once again.

MARTY

1.15am, huh?

He goes over to his clock, and sets it for 12.30am. He then goes in bed, and falls asleep within a few seconds.

27. EXT. MARTY'S ROOM.

We see the Marty's room's window, from the outside – it's 27 stores high, like Biff's Pleasure Paradise was.

Suddenly, a rope drops out of the window!

28. INT. ROOM.

We see Marty, wearing a special climb suit and a rucksack, has thrown the rope. As we zoom around, we can see the clock now reads 12.33am.

Marty carefully climbs out of the window, holding onto the rope.

29. EXT. THE BACK OF THE PLEASURE PARADISE.

We watch from a distance, as Marty climbs down the rope!

Down below, he releases it again, and pulls on it, hard. The rope lets go above, and it falls down. Marty stuffs it into the rucksack, then walks past the Paradise.

30. EXT. FRONT OF THE PARADISE.

There's a lot of activity going on. Two security members are walking around. They eventually pause and smoke a cigarette.

Marty is on the side, walking through the bushes. He's looking for his hoverboard, which can clearly be seen close to where the security guards stand.

Marty slowly moves over to them. He's coming closer.

There's 40 feet between Marty and the hoverboard…

30 feet…

20 feet…

10 feet…

5 feet…

2 feet…

1 foot…

Marty's face lights up! He's got his hand on the hoverboard, and is about the pull it closer to him, when a hand from the back grabs his collar, AND PULLS HIM INTO THE LIGHT!

Marty turns around to see the security guard holding him; it's none other than WHITEY, one of Griff's 2015 gang members!

The other guard also turns, and reveals to be DATA!

WHITEY

You wanted to escape, huh?

(chuckles)

Well, it ain't going through. I wonder what Griff gives us for catching a guy like you.

DATA

(making chicken noises with his bionic implants)

Betcha he's just chicken.

MARTY

(nervously)

Well, I might as well be, but…

(points)

What's that!

Whitey and Data fall for it, and look. Marty reaches out, and punches Whitey to fall right into Data, he gets on the hoverboard, and hovers away!

The two gang members get on their feet again, and chase him.

MARTY

(to himself)

Wait a sec… there's supposed to be three…

He's proven right, as Spike appears right in front of him!

SPIKE

See you later, McFly!

Marty turns around, and sees the boys are almost on him!

Looking forward, he sees Spike! He's trapped!

He thinks one second… then, as Spike reaches out her arms to catch him, he JUMPS UP, GRABS A BRANCH OF THE TREE NEXT TO THEM, AND JUMPS OVER HER! He lands on the hoverboard, and continues his way.

Spike is shocked – but not for long, because the branch hits her in the head, and she's knocked out and falls to the ground!

Not seeing her, Whitey and Data, who have just caught up with Marty, stumble over her body, and fall in domino-effect!

Marty cheers: they're all knocked out!

He then heads off to the mall.

31. EXT. LONE PINE MALL.

Lone Pine Mall 2045 is old, abandoned, and overgrown with plants – it's been over twenty years since someone last visited this.

The only thing that appears to be working is the sign with the Lone Pine Tree on it, which says the time is 1.15am.

MARTY then heads up on his hoverboard, and passes the sign, which just clicks to 1.16am. He gets off the board and runs down the hill, into the parking lot.

He looks around, searching for human activity. However, there's no one to be seen in a wide distance.

MARTY

No one?

(shakes head)

Aw, I could've known…

He turns around, but then, the GIRL FROM THE CAFÉ comes running up to him from the other side!

GIRL

Marty!

The girl grabs him by the collar, and hugs him tightly. She looks a bit like a teenaged Clara.

GIRL

Marty! I'm so glad you came!

MARTY

(sarcastically)

I would've appreciated a 'hi, nice to see you' as well, without the close hug.

The girl abruptly lets go, almost causing Marty to fall down.

GIRL

Oh! I didn't hurt you, did I? I didn't mean to do so, I mean…

MARTY

No, I'm fine. Just tell me, what am I supposed to do here?

GIRL

(smiles mysteriously)

All in good time. I'll tell you, but I have to ask you a question first. Marty, how open-minded are you? Do you believe in the possibility of time travel?

Marty stares at her confused.

MARTY

Time travel?

(shrugs)

Well, I always thought it would be pretty cool, but it's impossible, right? Scientists concluded that about forty years ago.

The girl nods.

GIRL

I know they did. But they weren't right.

Marty stares at her puzzled.

MARTY

What did you mean? I mean, you didn't invent a time machine… right?

The girl grins, and grabs something out of her pocket. It's an old, soggy letter, which looks like it's about a century and a half old. She hands it to Marty.

32. EXT. LETTER

We can see the handwriting now; it's Doc's! Of course it is, THIS IS THE LETTER DOC SENT TO MARTY IN PART TWO/THREE!

33. MARTY'S POINT OF VIEW

Marty scans the letter, and looks at the signature. It reads 'Doc' Emmett L. Brown, September 1st, 1885.

Marty looks up, and chuckles in disbelief.

MARTY

You think I believe this letter was really sent in 1885? By…

(checks signature)

Crazy Old Doc Brown?

The girl turns to him, furiously!

GIRL

My granddaddy was not crazy! He never has been!

Marty ROLLS HIS EYES.

MARTY

(sarcastically)

No, of course he wasn't. That's why he burnt down his mansion in '62, and disappeared without a trace in '85. I know Grandpa used to hang around with him, but I wonder if he's completely sane himself. Talking about the Old West and Eastwood Ravine… which was supposed to be the name of the ravine before it got named after Griff in 2030.

GIRL

I know. Somebody named Clint Eastwood fell into it in 1885, after beating up Mad Dog Tannen.

NARTY

(snickers)

I would love to see something like that happening to Griff. He completely deserves it. But back to subject, Grandpa tells me he was the one who beat up Tannen. Sometimes like that, I get to think Griff's right and he is crazy.

The girl slaps Marty softly.

GIRL

Well, it's true! Your grandfather did beat up Buford Tannen, when he got send back to 1885 to rescue my grandpa from getting shot by the guy. Grandpa stayed in the 1880s when your Grandpa headed back to 1985, and married a girl named Clara. They had two sons, Jules and Verne.

MARTY

And you're the daughter of one of them, if I have to believe you when you said that Brown was your grandfather?

The girl nods.

GIRL

Yeah. Verne Brown moved to 2020, back in 1910. He married a local girl and got a daughter… me. I'm Sarah… Sarah Marie Brown. After the famous scientist, Marie Curie.

MARTY

And what happened to your father… Verne?

SARAH

After your grandfather got committed, he continued their both work… a time machine, to stop Griff's power from rising. Unfortunately, Dad was shot in January of 2034, and there was no one left to be able to stop Griff.

(a beat)

Until today.

Marty shakes his head in disbelief.

MARTY

Wait a sec, wait a sec… are you telling me that we could just stop Griff, if we'd build a time machine?

SARAH

Precisely. You know the day Griff got first rich?

MARTY

How could I forget? 21st October, 2023. That's twenty-two years ago yesterday.

SARAH

Well, we could stop it. Look at the newspaper.

She takes out the newspaper.

34. EXT. NEWSPAPER.

Marty looks at the newspaper, USA TODAY, saying: JAILED YOUTH WINS AT RACES – Griff Tannen To Win A Fortune Betting On Sport Event.

MARTY (o.s)

What's this supposed to mean?

We zoom out.

MARTY (contin'd)

I mean, we all know this happened. We could drag Griff out of the way of course, but we can't erase his knowledge of sports.

Sarah SHAKES HER HEAD AND GRABS MARTY'S COLLAR.

SARAH

Are you that stupid? Marty, Griff got the money with another almanac! Look at his pocket. I don't have a magnifying glass, but even I can see it.

Marty looks in Griff's pocket.

35. INT. POCKET

We can clearly see the top of a book: Gray's Sports Almanac 2000-2050.

36. EXT. MARTY AND SARAH.

Marty gets a faint smile on his face.

MARTY

Well, in that case… I could try to help you…

Sarah smiles happily, glad she's succeeded.

MARTY

We'll just do it!

37. INT. HILL VALLEY MENTAL SANATORIUM

MARTY and SARAH are walking through the hallway, looking for Marty Sr's room.

Sarah is looking at a paper she's holding.

SARAH

(to herself)

124…

(to Marty)

124 it is.

Marty looks at the numbers on the wall.

MARTY

(to himself)

116, 118, 120, 122… this is it.

They stop in front of a white door. (We may notice that all is white here!)

38. EXT. MARTY SR'S DOOR

We can see a plate on it, saying: Patient Martin Seamus McFly, Sr, born June 9th, 1968. (We finally find out Marty's birthday!)

Marty grabs a key, and opens the door.

39. INT. ROOM.

MARTY SR, now 77, is sitting on a chair, reading a page of a newspaper. He's got a straight-jacket on, and we may notice he looks VERY old. The years in the sanatorium have obviously not done him any good.

Hearing the movement, he looks up… and gasps as he recognises the visitor.

MARTY SR

Grandson?

Marty is STUNNED, TOO.

MARTY

Gramps?

Marty runs over, and hugs his grandfather.

MARTY SR

Marty! I can't believe you actually did come, after all! How did Sarah convince you?

Marty backs off a little.

MARTY

I'm not convinced. The only reason I came here is because it contains a possibility to stop Griff. I'm not immediately believing time travel and all.

Marty Sr SIGHS. He could've expected this.

MARTY SR

All right, I'll show you something.

He uneasily gets off his chair, and moves under the bed. After a few seconds of being watched by Marty and Sarah, he comes back out with another note.

He then hands it over to Marty III. We can clearly see that this is none else than the note written by Part One Marty McFly!

40. EXT. NOTE.

MARTY (O.S)

Dear Dr. Brown,on the night that I go back in time, you will be shot by terrorists. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster. Yourfriend, Marty.

41. EXT. MARTY READING

MARTY

(to his grandfather)

What's this?

Marty Sr shakes his head.

MARTY SR

(in a 'how-simple' style)

Why, it's a note, of course.

That wasn't Marty's kind of idea of an answer!

MARTY

Why Doc, of course it's a note. I mean, what is it for? What's the meaning of it?

MARTY SR

The purpose here is to save Doc from getting shot at the original incident with the time machine. It was an immense problem, since 1955 Doc refused to listen.

MARTY

(with surprise)

1955 Doc?

MARTY SR

Yeah, I kinda got stuck back there after escaping from the guys who shot Doc.

Marty gulps.

MARTY

Heavy.

MARTY SR

Oh, it got worse the next time! We had to go back to 1955 to get a book back from Biff… Gray's Sports Almanac, 1950-2000… on the same date as the day I got back to the future.

(a beat)

He'd altered the future… similar to how Griff altered it, this time around. And I hope it's similar in repair, too.

MARTY

(catching the last few words)

Wait a minute… you mean, we can undo this? On a way that Dad isn't dead, and Griff is poor, and that you are not committed?

Marty nods.

MARTY SR

Precisely! I've been wanting to do that ever since I sensed things were going wrong, back in the mid- or late-2020s, but I couldn't. If you could free me, it wouldn't take more than a few weeks to get my time machine back in working order and get ourselves back to the 2010s!

Marty glows up with a pure expression of HOPE… great HOPE.

42. INT. PLEASURE PARADISE.

Griff is standing in a large room, lecturing Marty, who's sitting on a sofa with a bored expression. We may notice everything looks just like in 1985-A.

GRIFF

(shaking his head)

I can't believe you just sneaked away. I can't believe you did that. That's going to cost you money, butthead.

Suzy runs over to Griff, and grabs him by the arm.

SUZY

Now Griff, don't do that. We'll be fine without that money. You have enough… I'm sure that Marty has a good reason for sneaking out in the middle of the night.

(to Marty)

Haven't you, Marty?

Marty nods. He knows what to say, now.

MARTY

Yeah… I had to visit Dad's grave. It's a tradition of mine, every October 21st. I sort of had no time earlier in the day.

Suzy seems to accept this, but Griff shakes his head.

GRIFF

Nonsense. It's nonsense and you know it. You don't have to visit your father's grave at 1.15am. You weren't busy earlier that day, stupid piece of trash.

Suzy sinks down, tears in her eyes.

SUZY

Griff, don't call him that! It's a nice kid, and you have responsibility for him! We have enough money – it's not like he has to work for it!

Griff chuckles stupidly, then kicks Suzy on the leg.

GRIFF

This ain't your business. Keep yourself outta this.

(to Marty)

And as for you; you better make your homework now. I'll be back up here in an hour, so you better not be.

He gets up the stairs, and leaves the room.

MARTY

(to himself)

I have no intention to stay, you jerk.

SUZY
(having heard her son)

Now Marty, you shouldn't speak about your father that way! He works hard to take care of all of us!

Marty SNICKERS faintly.

MARTY

(rolling his eyes)

Since when was betting on sports event labelled working hard? I doubt that's much work for him.

SUZY shakes her head.

SUZY

Well, your father is the owner of a large business operation, as well. He has to take care of that, too.

MARTY

Yeah, right.

Suzy sighs at her son's disbelief. She leaves the room.

Marty walks up to the window, and stares down. The sky is dark, and people are walking around. It's obviously daytime, but still the sky isn't really clear.

MARTY sighs.

MARTY

One day, I'll get out of here.

(smiles faintly)

And that day is soon.

43. EXT. WATCH.

We see a watch. It reads: 'Th-10-26-45-01-24'.

44. EXT. HILL VALLEY SANATORIUM.

We've zoomed out, to see the watch is Marty's. He's looking at it with a bright smile. He then takes out a walkie-talkie.

MARTY (IN WALKIE-TALKIE)

Action.

45. INT. MARTY SR'S ROOM.

Marty Sr answers his grandson's call.

MARTY SR

Roger Marty. Standing by.

46. EXT. SANATARIUM.

We watch, as Marty THROWS UP THE ROPE, ALONG TE WALL, TO THE WINDOW! (We notice the window is broken open from the outside!)

Marty Sr, up in the room, takes the rope, attaches it, and climbs down the building.

47. ZOOM IN –MARTY SR.

The wind is heavy, and Marty is hanging unsteady.

MARTY SR

Whoa! Whoa! Heavy!

He gets closer to the ground!

48. EXT. BUILDING

Down below, Marty takes the call.

MARTY

Hold on Gramps! You'll be fine!

Down, Marty is just about to set his feet down to the ground – as a large wind moves him away from it!

MARTY SR

Whoa!

Marty then reaches a window on what seems to be the second floor, and breaks through it!

ALARMS GO OFF ALL THROUGH THE BUILDING!

49. EXT. MARTY.

MARTY

Shit!

(on walkie-talkie)

Gramps! JUMP!

50. EXT. MARTY SR – UP IN THE WINDOW.

Marty attaches the rope around him firmly, then JUMPS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND!

He drops to the ground!

Marty quickly runs over, and unties the rope. They head off, Marty Senior still shaking.

51. EXT. STREET.

The Marty's reach a car, which is obviously a DeLorean. Sarah is inside.

SARAH

C'mon! Quick!

As they step in, Marty turns around – and sees the police, coming right at him.

MARTY

This ain't going well…

52. EXT. DELOREAN

We watch as the time machine-to-be speeds off down the street!

The police cars follow, but they're too slow – they soon stop.

53. INT. GRIFF'S ROOM – THE PLEASURE PARADISE.

Griff just gets a call from the police.

POLICE OFFICER (V.O)

Boss, the guys who attacked the sanatorium escaped, together with Mr. McFly. I can meld you that your stepson, Marty, was also involved in this.

Griff lies down the phone and growls.

GRIFF

When I get that little son of a bitch, he ain't going to be lucky!

(picks up phone)

Search all streets for them. I want to be taken care of both McFly's… permanently.

He sighs.

54. EXT. GRASS FIELD CLOSE TO GRIFFDALE HOUSING DEPARTMENT.

The DeLorean arrives, and stops short.

The Marty's and Sarah get out.

Marty Sr, running forward, takes a REMOTE CONTROL out of his pocket and presses a few buttons.

Suddenly, the entire ground starts to lift up – to reveal a chamber under the ground!

Marty Sr smiles proudly at the stunned others.

MARTY SR

Verne made it.

SARAH

I figured so. Typical Dad.

Marty Sr gets back in the DeLorean, and drives the car inside. After a few seconds, he returns alone, and winks his friends to go inside, too.

55. INT. HIDING PLACE

Marty and Sarah look around stunned. The room is decorated with old newspapers from before the 2020s, and several things that belonged to Marty Jr and Doc Brown.

There's a safe in the room, too. It has a plate next to it with 'Time Travel Equipment' on it.

Marty Sr heads over to the safe.

MARTY SR

(to himself)

One left… one right… one left… two right… one left… nine right… five left… five right!

He twists the handle, and the safe opens!

Marty Sr takes out a box filled with equipment, and places it on a table nearby. Marty and Sarah look over…

In the box are a few dials, the time circuits, and a half-finished flux capacitor!

Marty Sr takes it out proudly.

MARTY SR

I could've finished this in April 2034 if I hadn't been committed in December. With Verne's work on it as an addition, I think we could have this finished in three weeks. To be on the safe side, I think that Saturday, November 25th should do it as a test date. Then we can depart the next morning.

MARTY

(uncertainly)

Well you're the Gramps, Grandpa.

Marty Sr nods proudly.

MARTY SR

Right!

(to the others)

Now, why don't we have a little rest, and we start this morning immediately? I figure that it won't take us long to finish everything. It's quite the task, of course, but most of the time travel equipment is ready.

Marty and Sarah look at each other and nod.

MARTY

You've got a deal, Granddad. You convinced me now that time travel is real, and that I can get my father back alive and well.

Marty Sr grins.

MARTY SR

Well, good night, then!

56. INT. HIDING PLACE – DAY.

We pan around the place, also passing a clock. It states that the time is currently 6.59am.

The clock then turns to 7am, and a similar thing happens as in Part III, with eggs being cooked.

Marty Sr awakens with a start.

MARTY SR

Ah… daylight has come.

He walks over to Marty and Sarah.

MARTY SR

Hey kids, wake up. We ain't got time for this.

Marty awakens, and stares his grandfather in the eye.

MARTY

Where am I?

MARTY SR

At the hiding place of the Non-GriffCo group. Remember?

Everything comes back to Marty.

MARTY

Oh yeah.

Marty Sr grins.

MARTY SR

Now why don't I head off to check if everything is still around, and you go fresh yourself up. Then, we can get started on breakfast, and afterwards we can go to work.

MARTY

Work.

MARTY SR

(imitating his grandson)

Work.

He heads off.

57. EXT. TIME TRAVEL EQUIPMENT.

According to the clock, it's 7:45. All are up, and Marty Sr is studying everything he has got left from his original stay here.

MARTY SR

It looks like my calculations will be right. We will indeed be able to get this ready around mid-November.

MARTY

Are you sure?

MARTY SR

Pretty well. We have to finish the flux capacitor, and do a few modifications on the time circuits. Then we have to install the fusion chamber. For the rest, we should be fine. I already got the fusion in '33… it's standing over there in the back.

Marty points at a 'MR. FUSION' labelled thing.

MARTY SR

I already got the dials inside… there should be a few tests, and then we'll be fine.

MARTY

Okay.

SARAH

Yeah, I get it. Now, when can we start? I really want this kind of 'life' to be history forever.

MARTY

You bet! I miss my daddy. It's been thirteen years, but I really miss him. I loved him very much.

SARAH

So, as I said, when can we start?

MARTY SR

(smiling)

Now.

58. EXT. CALENDAR.

We see the date is October 26th… but it is starting to change. Every page disappears, and so we 'move' through the late October and the month November. It finally stops at Saturday, November 25th.

59. INT. ROOM.

Marty and Sarah are standing a little nervous. Marty Sr is obviously excited.

MARTY SR

I think we should do it. I gave it a few overlooks, and everything appears to be fine. The only thing left to do, is actually test it… outside.

He walks over to a dog.

MARTY SR

Hey, Huey? I think this is your day.

(to the others)

C'mon, let's get the car outside. Then we can try to get Huey back…

MARTY

to the future?

Marty Sr grins.

MARTY SR

You got it.

60. EXT. FIELD.

There's very heavy weather.

Marty and the others are standing there, next to the DeLorean. We can see the Mr. Fusion is on top, and it looks identical to the one from Part One, including the hook on top as a reminder.

Marty Sr steps forward, and motions to Marty and Sarah to go stand next to him. Marty is carrying a film camera, and starts to film his grandfather.

MARTY SR

I, Marty McFly, am about to control a time travel experiment. If this works, we are able to break through the time barrier and change history.

(to Marty)

What time is it?

Marty checks his watch.

61. EXT. WATCH.

It's 10:01 PM, just switching to 10.02 PM.

62. EXT. FIELD.

MARTY

Gramps, it's 10.02.

MARTY SR

Right. Now, why don't we get started.

He carries Huey to the time machine, and places the dog inside the car.

MARTY SR

Relax, Huey. You'll be fine.

(to Marty)

Film this. As you can see, Huey's clock and mine are both saying 10.02PM.

Marty zooms in with the camera.

63. EXT. HUEY'S CLOCK – MARTY'S CLOCK.

They're both simultaneously at 10.02, but then both switch to 10.03.

64. EXT. DELOREAN

MARTY SR

Right. Now, why don't I close the door, and we get started with the experiment.

They back off.

Marty Sr then starts a remote, and the DeLorean drives back. It then stands still, about a hundred yards away. Marty Senior moves in the path of it.

MARTY SR

(checking his watch)

5…4…3…2…1…check!

He pulls the lever.

65. EXT. BACKED OFF DELOREAN

The DeLorean starts to make funny noises.

66. EXT. REMOTE CONTROL

The circuits say the speed as being twenty…thirty… forty… fifty…

Sixty….

Sixty-five…

Seventy…

Right at seventy-three (the year George got shot in '73-A) Marty PULLS THE LEVER!

67. EXT. DELOREAN

The time machine starts speeding towards them!

It goes faster and faster!

68. EXT. REMOTE CONTROL.

Seventy-five…

Eighty…

Eighty-five…

Eighty-six…

Eighty-seven…

Eighty-eight!

69. EXT. DELOREAN

The time machine is surrounded by white light, there are flashes of blue around it, too, and as it's almost reached the others, it VANISHES INTO NOTHINGNESS, LEAVING TWO IDENTICAL TRAILS OF FIRE BEHIND ON THE GROUND!

Marty jumps up, just avoiding to be hit!

Marty Sr stares wide-eyed, then looks at the remote and at his clock.

MARTY SR

Yaah!

He runs down the fire trails!

MARTY SR

It works! It really works! At (checks watch) 10.04 PM and zero seconds, it disappeared… into the future! At 10.05 PM and zero seconds, we'll catch up with Huey! And with the DeLorean!

MARTY

(puzzled)

You mean, he's in the future? He's at 10.05?

MARTY SR

Correct! Now all we have to do is wait out the time we need, and then catch up with him and the time vehicle!

We zoom in on Marty's face.

MARTY

Whoa, heavy.

Marty Sr nods.

MARTY SR

It sure is…

MARTY

So, when are we going? What's our destination?

MARTY SR grins.

MARTY SR

Well, we don't know when Griff received the book. So I think we better go back to the date he first used it.

(takes out newspaper)

October 21st, 2023.

Suddenly, there's a loud BEEP!

MARTY

(startled)

Whoa! What's that!

Marty looks down at his watch.

70. EXT. WATCH

We see the time… it's 10:04:55!

71. EXT. FIELD.

MARTY SR

Great Scott! Watch out!

He pushes Marty and Sarah out of the way, just in time as…

The blue lights re-appear, three loud sonic booms sound, and the DELOREAN REAPPEARS FROM WHERE IT DISAPPEARED, AND SCREECHES TO A HALT!

72. EXT. THE TIME TRAVELLERS.

Marty Senior smiles at everyone.

MARTY SENIOR

I turned the 'automatic stop' knob on. Comes in handy.

MARTY

(still in shock)

It's back!

(realises)

Does that mean, that we can leave, now?

VOICE (O.S)

Not quite, my boy.

Marty, Sarah and Marty Sr turn around to see…

GRIFF TANNEN, along with a couple of police officers, all holding guns!

MARTY

Holy shit!

SARAH

You can say that!

Griff STEPS FORWARD.

GRIFF

(to Marty)

You broke your grandpa out of the sanatorium, McFly. You could've known I wouldn't have liked it. And now you're also planning to stop my regime?

(snickers)

Forget it. Griff Tannen rules Hill Valley, and there's no way to stop that, buttheads. I'm in charge here, now.

Marty GULPS NERVOUSLY.

MARTY SR

If you are, maybe you could tell us how you got that sports almanac? We can't do anything about it.

Griff is wide-eyed!

GRIFF

How did you know?

MARTY SR

We do. How did it happen?

Griff considers it for a few moments, then decides to do it.

GRIFF

Okay. Well, it was early afternoon, I'd been to the High School to bully that butthead son of yours – he was free early, if I remember well it was on 12.55 already, and then that stupid and crazy old man comes over to me. He looked a bit like my Grandpa, Biff. Tells me: do you want to be rich? I say, 'yes of course'. So he gives me the almanac. He told me that I should just bet on the winner and I'd never lose. Well, I took the advice, and the rest you know. I used the almanac to bet on games and free myself from jail, and then I started GriffCo… and killed your son.

Marty gulps. Marty Sr tries hard to keep a normal face.

MARTY SR

When was that, anyway? The date that old man gave the almanac to you, I mean?

GRIFF

Why do you want to know?

MARTY SR

I always wanted to.

GRIFF

It's not like you can do anything about it now, so, okay. October 21st… 2015.

Marty, Marty Sr and Sarah all gasp!

Griff just chuckles.

MARTY

Well, you forgot something, Griff.

Griff smiles.

GRIFF

What?

Marty points out next to Griff.

MARTY

That.

Griff looks – and Marty PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE!

Griff tolls around, and falls to the ground.

The police immediately start to fire!

The Martys and Sarah quickly head to the DeLorean, and duck inside.

73. INT. DELOREAN

Marty places his foot on the gas pedal, and as the others are inside, he roars off.

74. EXT. ROADWAY.

The DeLorean races off, speeding up.

Police cars are flying behind them.

75. INT. DELOREAN

The speedometer says 62, going on 63…64.

SARAH

Marty, we're getting faster.

MARTY
(not in the mood for this)

I know. I really wish Gramps bought us a hover-conversion, though.

MARTY SR

I hadn't got the expenses at the time. Or do you want to visit the hover-conversion-detailer right now?

MARTY

Never mind.

SARAH

(realising nobody is listening to her)

I meant that we could travel through time, Marty!

MARTY SR

Your girlfriend is right.

Marty turns to his grandfather.

MARTY

She's not my girlfriend!

Marty Sr GRINS.

MARTY SR

Sure she isn't.

Marty gives him a look of anger, then he glances at the non-digital speedometer, which heads up to 85. The digital one says 84.

The DeLorean then dives around a corner, and the speed drops to 40.

76. EXT. FIELD.

Griff has regained consciousness.

GRIFF

Buttheads.

He gets up, and runs off.

77. EXT. DELOREAN.

The time machine is driving around real fast, police right behind them!

78. INT. DELOREAN

Marty Sr glances backwards, to see the police cars coming closer. He points it out to his grandson.

MARTY

Whoa, this is heavy!

MARTY SR

I know, I know!

(gets an idea)

Marty, could you do it on your own for a while?

Marty looks at him.

MARTY

I guess… why do you ask?

Marty Sr smiles, glancing over at the speedometer – 67 and increasing.

MARTY SR

Wait and see.

79. EXT. TIME DISPLAYS.

Suddenly, the time circuits are switched on!

80. INT. DELOREAN

Marty Sr is punching a few dials.

We watch on as a new 'Destination Time' appears: October 21st, 2015, 11:00AM.

SARAH

We're going back now? What about Huey?

Marty Sr saddens.

MARTY SR

I think he'll be fine. After we return from 2015, the world should be returned to whatever it was before Griff took the time machine back to 2015, and Huey should have no memory of being here in the first place.

Marty turns to his grandfather, a little nervous.

MARTY

Are you sure of that?

MARTY SR

Not entirely. But if you have another idea…

Marty looks around.

81. EXT. MARTY'S POV OF:

The police, coming all the way closer to them.

MARTY

It's fine.

MARTY SR

(smiles)

See: that's what I thought already.

Marty grimaces a little, and speeds the time machine up more.

We see the speedometer read 75… 80… 85… 86…

SARAH

Isn't this supposed to be something like 'brace for displacement'?

MARTY SR

(imitating Doc)

Brace yourselves for temporal displacement!

Sarah grins slightly.

82. EXT. SPEEDOMETER.

Speedometer reads 87… 88!

83. EXT. MARTY'S POV THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AS…

The flux capacitor discharges,

Lights appear around the vehicle, and…

Noises start to be made…

And then, there's a burst of light, temporal displacement kicks in, and the alternate 2045 night road becomes…

AN EMPTY FIELD, JUST BEING THERE IN WIDE DAYLIGHT!

The DeLorean races through the field to a sudden HALT, as it hits a large pile of stored potatoes!

Inside the time machine, both Sarah and Marty are SHOCKED.

SARAH

Where are we?

MARTY SR

Don't you mean when?

He points at the Destination Time and the Present Time readouts, now saying the same. (NOTE: The Last Time Departed display says they left at 10:10 PM!)

MARTY SR

October 21st, 2015.

Sarah looks at him with a 'you've got to be kidding me' look.

(NOTE: Scene numbers 84-200 are reversed)

CLIFFHANGER!!! Read the next chapter for more!
