Back To The Future Part III

Doc.

Doc.

-Doc!

-What?

Relax, Doc. It's me! It's Marty.

It can't be.

I just sent you back to the future.

You did send me back to the future,

but I'm back.

I'm back from the future.

Great Scott!

Hey, kids, what time is it?

Howdy Doody time!

"It's Howdy Doody time"

Great Scott!

Howdy Doody time?

Sunday, November 13, 1955, 7:01 a.m.

Last night's time travel experiment

was apparently a complete success.

Lightning struck the clock tower

at 10:
04 p.m...

...sending the necessary 1.21 gigawatts...

...into the time vehicle,

which vanished in a flash of light...

...leaving a pair of fire trails behind.

I assumed Marty and the time vehicle...

...were transported forward through time

to the year 1985.

After that, I can't recall what happened.

In fact, I don't even remember

how I got home.

Perhaps the gigawatt discharge

and the temporal displacement field...

...generated by the vehicle caused

a disruption of my own brain waves...

...resulting in a condition of momentary amnesia.

I now recall that moments

after the time vehicle disappeared...

...into the future...

...I saw a vision of Marty

saying he had come back from the future.

Hey, Doc.

Undoubtedly, this was some residual image.

Doc, calm down. It's me. It's Marty.

It can't be you. I sent you back to the future!

That's right, but I came back again

from the future. Don't you remember?

You fainted. I brought you home.

This can't be happening! You can't be here!

It doesn't make sense!

I refuse to believe you are here!

I am here, and it does make sense.

I came back to 1955 again with you.

The you from 1985

is waiting to get a book from Biff!

Once I got the book,

the you from 1985 were in the DeLorean...

...and it got struck by lightning,

and you got sent back to 1885!

It's a very interesting story, future boy...

...but there's one thing that doesn't make sense.

If the me of the future is now in the past,

how could you possibly know about it?

You sent me a letter.

"Dear Marty, if my calculations are correct...

"...you will receive this letter immediately after

the DeLorean's struck by lightning.

"First, let me assure you I am alive and well.

"I've been living happily

these past eight months in the year 1885.

"The lightning bolt that hit the DeLorean...

"...caused an overload

which scrambled the time circuits...

"...activated the flux capacitor

and sent me back to 1885.

"The overload shorted out the time circuits...

"...and destroyed the flying circuits.

Unfortunately, the car will never fly again."

It actually flew?

Yeah. We had a hover conversion done

in the early 21st century.

Incredible!

"I set myself up as a blacksmith

as a front...

"...while I attempted to repair the damage

to the time circuits.

"Unfortunately, this proved impossible...

"...because suitable replacement parts

will not be invented until 1947.

"However, I've gotten quite adept

at shoeing horses and fixing wagons."

I actually end up as a blacksmith

in the Old West.

Pretty heavy.

"I have buried the DeLorean

in the abandoned Delgado Mine...

"...adjacent to the old Boot Hill Cemetery

as shown on the enclosed map.

"Hopefully, it should remain undisturbed

and preserved until you uncover it in 1955.

"Inside, you will find repair instructions.

"My 1955 counterpart..." That's me.

"Should have no problem repairing it

so that you can drive it back to the future.

"Once you have returned to 1985,

destroy the time machine."

-Destroy it?

-It's a long story, Doc.

"I repeat, do not attempt

to come back here to get me.

"I am perfectly happy living in the fresh air...

"...and wide-open spaces.

"I fear that unnecessary time travel...

"...only risks further disruption

of the space-time continuum.

"And please take care of Einstein for me."

Einstein?

He's your dog, Doc.

Einstein is what you call your dog in 1985.

"I know you will give him a good home.

"Remember to walk him twice a day

and that he only likes canned dog food.

"These are my wishes.

Please respect and follow them.

"And so, Marty, I now say farewell

and wish you Godspeed.

"You've been a good,

kind, and loyal friend to me...

"...and you made a real difference

in my life.

"I will always treasure our relationship

and think of you with fond memories...

"...warm feelings and a special place

in my heart.

"Your friend in time, Doc Emmett L. Brown.

"September 1, 1885."

I never knew I could write

anything so touching.

I know, it's beautiful.

It's all right, Copernicus. Everything will be fine.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault you're stuck back there.

I never should've let Biff get to me.

There are plenty worse places to be

than the Old West.

I could have ended up in the Dark Ages.

They probably would have burned me

at the stake as a heretic.

Let's look at the map.

According to this, the time vehicle

is sealed off in a side tunnel.

We may have to blast.

Whoa!

I think you woke up the dead with that blast.

Take this camera. I want to document everything!

This reminds me of the time I attempted

to reach the center of the Earth.

I'd been reading my favorite author,

Jules Verne.

I spent weeks preparing that expedition.

I didn't even get this far.

Of course, I was only 12 at the time.

You know, it was the writings of Jules Verne...

...that had a profound effect on my life.

When I was 11, I first read

It was then that I realized

I must devote my life to science.

Check it out. Look at this.

My initials!

Just like in

Journey to the Center of the Earth!

That means the time machine

must be right through this wall!

It's been buried in here for 70 years,

two months and 13 days.

Astounding!

"As you see, the lightning bolt

shorted out the time-circuit control chip.

"The attached..."

Schematic.

"Schematic diagram will allow you

to build a replacement unit...

"...with 1955 components, thus restoring

the time machine to perfect working order."

Unbelievable that this little piece of junk

could be such a big problem.

No wonder this circuit failed.

It says, "Made in Japan."

What do you mean, Doc?

All the best stuff is made in Japan.

Unbelievable!

You know, when I was a kid,

I always wanted to be a cowboy.

Now, knowing I'm spending my future

in the past...

...it sounds like a wonderful way

to spend my retirement years.

It just occurred to me, since I end up in 1885...

...perhaps I'm now in the history books.

I wonder.

Could I look myself up

in the old newspaper archives?

I don't know.

You always say it's not good

to know too much about your own destiny.

You're right, Marty. I know too much already.

Better that I not attempt to uncover

the circumstances of my own future.

Copernicus. Come on, boy!

I'll get him.

Copernicus!

Come on. Let's go home, boy.

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Copernicus?

Come on, let's go.

Doc, come here!

Quick!

What's wrong?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

You're not far off, Doc.

Great Scott!

Check this out.

"Died September 7, 1885."
