(Saturday, October 26, 1985, 12:30 AM)
After dinner was over, Marty and Ally figured that they could get a few hours of shut-eye before they'd have to meet before they would have to meet Doc. The siblings shared a room because their house was too small for separate rooms. Marty figured that he'd let his sister sleep a little longer since she was younger than him.
When it was after midnight, the phone had rung. The ringing woke up both siblings. Marty reached up to the phone that sat on a shelf above him and grabbed it. He put it up to his ear and started to sit up on his bed. "Hello?" he said groggily into the phone.
"Marty, you didn't fall asleep, did you?" Doc said on the other line. Marty instantly became more awake when he heard Doc's voice on the other side. "Uh, no. No, but Ally did." Marty replied, looking at his watch. "Alright, wake her up and run by my place. I forgot my camera." Doc asked, sounding quite urgent.
"Sure thing. See you in a bit." Marty said, hanging up the phone. Afterward, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. He stretched his body before walking over to his sister's bed and kicking her in the legs. "Wake up, Ally. We gotta get Doc's camera and we gotta get to the mall. C'mon." Marty says, walking over to the door to pick up his jacket.
Ally rubbed her eyes and groaned. "Aw man, is it that time already?" she asked, stretching her arms. "Yep. So c'mon, let's go." Marty replied, jumping out of their bedroom window. Ally grabbed her denim jacket, and skateboard before following her brother.
(1:15 AM. Twin Pines Mall)
After getting Doc's camera, the siblings skateboard their way to Twin Pines Mall. The siblings stopped in front of the mall and saw that there was no one in the parking lot. Nothing there except a van and Doc's dog, Einstein sitting a few feet from it.
They had seen the time on the mall sign and they had made it at the nick of time. However, they didn't see Doc anywhere in sight. "You think he's here?" Ally asked, looking around the empty parking lot. "Yeah, maybe. Let's go see." Marty replied, turning around and skating down the entrance. Ally followed him and they both stopped beside Einstein.
The dog looked up at the teens and wagged his tail. "Hey, Einie! How you doin', boy?" Ally said, petting the dog happily. "Where's Doc?" Marty asked. Just as he said that the teens hear the van make a low growling sound. They look at the van, slowly rising to their feet.
The van's back door slowly opens and both were fixated on what was inside the van, which was smoking. Before the teens knew it, a Delorean slowly backed out of it and onto the driveway. There was something weird about this Delorean though, not like the other ones that they've seen before.
"Marty, you're seeing this right?" Ally asked, her gaze fully fixated on the futuristic vehicle in front of them. "Yeah. Yeah, I am." Marty replied with a few nods. The door to the Delorean opens all the way with more smoke. Doc Brown steps out of the Delorean with a white radiation suit on. For a moment, he looked confused.
"Doc, we're right here." Ally said to get Doc's attention. The silvery-haired scientist turns around and sees the teens behind him. "Marty! Ally! You guys made it!" Doc says with joviality, a smile on his face. He moves out of the way and shows them his experiment.
"Welcome to my latest experiment! The one I've been waiting for all my life." Doc says with excitement. "It's a Delorean-" Marty starts but Doc cuts him off by waving a hand in front of him. "Bear with me you two. Your questions will be answered soon. Marty, roll the tape, we'll proceed." Doc says, moving to the front of the car.
Ally was still a bit confused about the car. "Um, Doc, is that a ra-" she starts. "Nevermind that now, not now," Doc says, looking at a clipboard. Marty and Ally run to the front of the Delorean while Marty held up the camera so he can film Doc.
"Alright, ready," Marty confirmed. Doc cleared his throat before looking at the camera. "Good evening. I'm Doctor Emmett Brown, standing in front of Twins Pines Mall at 1:15 a.m. on October 26, 1985." Doc began speaking. Ally checked the watch she was wearing on her right wrist.
"Check, Doc," she said, giving a thumbs up. Doc then calls Einstein over to the car. "Einie, go ahead, get in there. Thatta boy," he says, letting the dog jump into the driver's side. Ally and Marty walk closer to the Delorean along with Doc, who strapped the dog nice and tight in the car.
Doc knelt down beside the dog and took a timer that was around the canine's neck. "Please note that Einstein's clock is in synchronization with my control watch," Doc said, holding the watch up against his own. "Check," Marty said.
Doc then stands up and says, "Have a good trip, Einstein. Watch your head." He then reaches inside the car and shuts the door. The trio walked to an open spot in the empty parking lot. Doc then holds a large remote control in both hands.
"You got that thing hooked up to the… car?" Ally asked, stopping when the Delorean turned on. The engine rumbled when it turned on. "Both of you watch this," Doc said, turning on the controller. The siblings watched as Doc started to control the car with that controller, causing the car to drive to the end of the parking lot.
Marty turned the camera towards Doc for a moment. "Not me, the car!" Doc exclaimed, still focusing on the Delorean. Marty does what he's asked and points the camera at the car. When it was far away enough, Doc drags the teens to where they stood in front of it.
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 mph, you two are going to see some serious shit," Doc said with a half-grin. He then pushed one of the sticks up, making the speed accelerate quickly. The car's back wheels were spiraling fast, causing smoke to fly out from behind it.
"Doc, why're we standing in front of the car?" Ally questions. "Oh, just you wait and see," Doc replied vaguely. Ally was a bit nervous at the way Doc said that. He sounded too into seeing his experiment work. However, Marty and Ally were both nervous, how could they not feel that way?
He let's go of the joystick and let the car speed toward the trio. As the car was getting closer to the trio, Marty was starting to move away from the car's path, Doc pulls him back. "Watch this! Watch this!" Doc says with excitement. The teens were about ready to book it but they watched as the DeLorean started to light up.
Before the trio knew it, the car vanishes into a cloud of light, leaving a couple of trails of fire. The three look behind them in disbelief. Doc started to laugh in triumph, looking at his remote control with wide eyes. "What did I tell you two?! Eighty-eight miles per hour!" he laughed, jumping up and down.
The siblings however were speechless that the car had vanished before their very eyes. The only thing left behind was the license plate which read 'OutaTime' on it. They exchanged looks, which were a mix of shock and disbelief. Neither could understand why Doc was celebrating after he just disintegrated Einstein.
"The temporal displacement occurred at exactly 1:20 am in zero seconds!" Doc laughed, putting a fist against his head. Ally walks over to the license plate and picks it up with two fingers. "Agh! Jesus Christ! Doc, it's Einstein! You disintegrated him!" she exclaimed. Marty had half the mind to call her out on her swear, but he was too much in shock to care.
"Calm down, Ally! I didn't disintegrate anything!" Doc explained, "The molecular structure of Einstein and the car are completely intact!" Marty looked around frantically. "Then where the hell are they?!" Marty cried. Doc ran over to the teens and explained to them, "The right question is, when the hell are they? You two see, Einstein just became the first time traveler!"
Doc runs to the end of the fire trail and looked back at the siblings. "I sent him into the future! One minute to be exact. And in 1:16 in 0 seconds, we will catch up with him and the time machine." Doc concluded, checking his watch.
Ally and Marty exchanged stunned looks. So this is what Doc has been working on while he was gone?! Marty and Ally ran to him. "What? Hold on, Doc. Are you telling us that you built a time machine… out of a Delorean?" Marty breathlessly asks.
"The way I see it, if you're gonna make a time machine, why not do it with some style." Doc nods. "Style, Doc? You oughta get an eye test." Ally said in concern. Doc was about to speak but the beeping on his watch stopped him.
"Look out!" Doc shouted, pulling the teens out of the Delorean's path just as it reappeared again. It slid across the parking lot, doing a little spin before stopping. Doc held the controller up to his face for a minute as the trio stared at it.
Slowly they walked to it and steam hissed from it, causing all of them to freeze in their tracks. After a minute, Doc jogs up to it and tries to open the driver's side door. The minute he touched it, he quickly retracted his hand and he winced.
"What? Is it hot?" Marty asked in concern. "No, cold. Damn cold!" Doc corrected. Lifting his foot up to open the door. The siblings were surprised to see that Einstein was unscathed.
"Hah! Einstein, you little devil!" Doc laughed, petting the dog on his cheeks. Ally and Marty were still in disbelief that the dog and car were completely fine, not a scratch on the canine.
Doc knelt down next to dog and held up both watches side-by-side, letting the siblings see. "Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine! It's still ticking!" Doc exclaimed. Doc's watch read 1:21 while Einstein's watch read 1:20.
Doc unbuckles Einstein from the car and the dog jumps out. He runs to Doc's van. Marty and Ally kept their eyes on him the whole time. "He's alright." Marty said.
"He's fine! And he's completely unaware that anything happened. As far as he's concerned, the trip was instant. That's why Einstein's watch is behind mine. He skipped over that minute to arrive at this time. Here let me show you guys." Doc said, waving them over.
Doc sat in the drivers seat while Marty kneeled down while Ally rested her hands on her knees, watching closely. "First, flip on the time circuits." he explained, turning the circuits on to show three separate rows for different times. He then pointed to each time box.
"This one tells you where you are, this one tells you where you're going, and this one tells you've been. Say you want to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence" Doc elaborated, pushing the buttons to change the date to July 4, 1776. The date popped up on the screen.
"Or witness the birth of Christ," Doc says, changing the date to December 25, 0000. "Here's a red-letter date in the history of science. November 5, 1955." Doc finished. Doc then stops for a moment and he smiled widely. "Yes, of course, November 5, 1955." he laughed, looking at the siblings.
"What's important about this date, Doc?" Ally asked, wondering why Doc got excited on this particular date. "Why, that's the day I invented time travel. I remember like it was yesterday. I was hanging up a clock in my bathroom and I slipped and hit my head on my toilet. And when I came to, I had a revelation. A vision. A picture in my head, of this." Doc explained, pointing at his temple.
"This is what makes times travel possible: the flux capacitor," Doc said, pointing at a Y-shaped device that was in between the seats. "It took me over 30 years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day." Doc continued, staring off into space for a moment, "My God, has it been that long?"
He then gets out of the Delorean and looks over the mall parking lot. "I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eyes could see. Old man Peabody owned all of this. He had this idea of breeding pine trees."
Doc walks over to the van. "Um, this is heavy, Doc. Does it run on gasoline?" Marty asked while Ally was looking in the car. "Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick, plutonium." Doc replied, looking at Marty.
Ally pulls herself out of the car after hearing about the plutonium. "Hold on, are you telling us that this thing's nuclear?!" she exclaimed, taken aback. Doc shakes his head and replies, "No, this sucker's electrical and I need around 1.21 jigawatts to create the reaction."
"Doc, you don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium. Did you rip that off?" Marty asked. Doc came back over while waving his hands. "Of course! From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb. So I took their plutonium and in return, I gave them pinball machine parts!" he whispered.
"C'mon, let's get you two into radiation suits!" Doc called. Marty and Ally were both flabbergasted. Why would he make a trade with terrorists for stuff like this? "Marty, I think we're in deep trouble." Ally whispered, leaning towards her brother. "You got that right." Marty nodded.
The siblings got their suits on and put the helmets over their faces. Doc carefully picked up a plutonium tube with forceps, opened the back chamber, and stuck the tube over the chamber. Marty videotaped the whole thing with Ally watching.
Once the tube was sucked into the chamber, Doc takes his helmet off. "Safe now," he says. Marty and Ally take their helmets off too. Doc walks to the front of the car and places a suitcase in the front of it. "Well, I'm all set. I don't know if they'll have bioethics in the future," he said as he shut the trunk.
"The future? Where you going?" Ally asked. Doc smiled and said, "Twenty-five years. I've always dreamed of seeing the future, looking beyond my years. See the process of mankind. And I'll be able to see who wins the 25 World Series."
Doc walks to the driver's side door and was about to open it. "Hey, Doc," Marty said. Doc looks behind him to look at the siblings. "Look us up. When you get there," Ally suggested. Doc smiled and gave a nod. "Indeed I will. Roll it," Doc replied, opening the door.
"I, Doctor Emmett Brown, am about to embark on a historical journey," Doc said, facing the camera. Just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly remembers something. "What am I thinking? I almost forgot to bring extra plutonium. How do I ever expect to get back, one pallet, one trip? I must be out of my mind," Doc laughed, patting the open car door.
Einstein then started barking in the trio's direction. The way he was barking showed he was alerting them of something. Doc turned to look at the dog in the van. "What is it, Einie?" he wondered. The dog looked out in front of him to which Doc looks in front of him.
His face paled as he saw a light blue Volkswagon speeding towards the parking lot. "Oh my God. They found me. I don't know how but they found me. Run for it, kids!" Doc exclaimed, running behind Marty and Ally. However, they were confused by Doc's sudden distress.
"What? Who're you talking about?" Ally asked, turning to face Doc. "Who do you think?! The Libyan's!" Doc exclaimed, pointing towards the Volkswagon. The siblings turn to look behind them and see that Volkswagon. A Libyan rises from the sunroof and held up a machine rifle, ready to fire.
The siblings' eyes widened in horror. "Holy shit!" Marty exclaimed, grabbing Ally's wrist and they ducked behind the van. The Libyan started to shoot at them. "I'll draw their fire!" Doc shouted in panic as the Libyan started shooting at them.
Marty and Ally knelt down beside the opened Delorean, just watching the scene unfold before them. Doc had retrieved a small revolver from his van and tried firing back at them but found that it was jammed.
"Doc, wait!" Marty shouted. "What're you doing?!" Ally exclaimed, trying not to panic. The blue Volkswagon stops in front of Doc, who was cornered by his van. Throwing his hands up, he throws the revolver down to the concrete.
The Libyan fired his gun and shot Doc several times in the chest, killing him. Their eyes widened in horror and their faces paled. "NOOO! You bastards!" they yelled in unison.
The siblings ran out from behind the Delorean to face the terrorists. However, the terrorists turned to face the teens, gun still drawn. Marty put his sister behind him and closed his eyes tightly. Ally had done the same, thinking that they'd be shot right there and then.
However, the Libyan pulled the trigger and the gun ended up jamming. The terrorist swore in his native tongue as he started fiddling around with the rifle. The siblings open their eyes in shock but quickly snapped out of it.
Ally leaped into the Delorean before Marty did. "Go! Stupid gun!" the terrorist cursed. Marty took one last glance at Doc's lifeless body on the pavement. "Marty, close the door!" Ally shouted.
He quickly shuts the door and turns the Delorean on. "Go!" Ally shouted, seeing the Libyan's starting to give chase. Marty put his foot on the gas pedal and the two sped off. The terrorists were still shooting at the Delorean.
"C'mon, move! Dammit!" Marty grunts, trying to make the car speed up. Ally was looking every which way, seeing the terrorists chasing them. Marty then turns sharply to throw the terrorists off. "Can this thing go any faster?!" Ally exclaimed. "I'm trying!" Marty exclaimed.
Ally then glances at the rearview mirror and her eyes widened. That terrorist had pulled out a rocket launcher and held it up. "Uh, Marty!" Ally exclaimed, smacking her brother's arm. Marty looked at his sister for a moment before looking out of the window.
"Let's see if these pricks can do 90, Marty." Ally said. Marty nods and pulls back the gear shift. The car speeds up again. The siblings didn't realize that the car had sped up to 88 mph.
Next thing they know, the lights on the car turn on and three sonic booms went off. And they weren't in a parking lot anymore, they were in an empty field.
The car hits a lone scarecrow, causing it to land on the wind shield. "AGH!" they both screamed. The scarecrow fell onto the ground and they were headed straight toward a barn. The car was unable to slow down enough for them to stop.
"SHIIIIIIIIT!" Both screamed as their helmets fell over their faces. They then crashed into the barn.
