Hey!

Reach, blacksmith!

Yes, sir, that poor fellow last night...

...had the worst case of broken heart

I have ever seen.

When he said he didn't know

how he could live the rest of his life...

...knowing how much hurt

he'd caused that little girl...

...I really felt for him, I did, right here.

Listen up, Eastwood!

I aim to shoot somebody today,

and I prefer it'd be you.

But if you're just too damn yellow...

...it'll just have to be your blacksmith friend.

Forget about me, Marty, and save yourself!

You got one minute to decide.

You hear me, runt? One minute!

I've never seen a man so broken up

over a woman:

What did he say her name was?

Cara? Sara?

-Clara.

-Clara.

-Excuse me.

-Ma'am?

Was this man tall,

with great big brown puppy-dog eyes...

...and long silvery, flowing hair?

You know him.

Emmett!

Time's up, runt!

Prepare to meet your maker, blacksmith.

Right here, Tannen!

Draw!

No!

I thought we could settle this like men.

You thought wrong, dude.

Thank you.

That was good.

You know what I think?

-I think Buford's going to jail.

-Yeah.

Get him out of that sh*t.

Get them!

Buford Tannen, you're under arrest

for robbing the Pine City stage.

You got anything to say?

I hate manure.

Look!

Yes!

-The train!

-Can we make it?

We'll have to cut them off at Coyote Pass.

Hey, mister. Mr. Eastwood.

-Here's your gun, mister.

-Thanks, kid.

Seamus.

It's worth $12. Never been used.

Maybe I'll trade it for a new hat.

Right! Take care of that baby!

I will!

Emmett!

Emmett!

Emmett!

"Time machine."

Come on!

Go!

Give me your hand!

Come on!

Come on, Marty.

Come on. Let's go!

Masks on.

Reach!

Is this a holdup?

It's a science experiment.

Stop the train just before you hit

the switch track up ahead.

Doc!

Uncouple the cars from the tender!

I've wanted to do that all my life.

What are these things?

My version of Presto Logs.

Compressed wood with anthracite dust...

...chemically treated to burn hotter and longer.

I use them so I don't have to stoke my forge.

These three will ignite sequentially...

...make the fire hotter,

kick up the boiler pressure...

...and make the train go faster.

Ready to roll!

Emmett!

Marty, are the time circuits on?

Check!

Input the destination time:

October 27, 1985, 11:00 a.m.

Check. We're cruising

at a steady 25 miles an hour.

I'm throwing in the Presto Logs.

The new dashboard gauge

will tell us the boiler temperature.

It's color-coded to indicate

when each log will fire.

Green, yellow and red.

Each detonation will be accompanied

by a sudden burst of acceleration.

Hopefully we'll hit 88 miles per hour

before the needle gets much past 2,000.

Why? What happens after it hits 2,000?

The whole boiler explodes!

Perfect!

We just hit 35!

Okay, Marty.

I'm coming aboard!

Emmett!

Come on.

You better hold onto something!

The yellow log is about to blow!

Golly.

We just passed 40!

Emmett!

We just passed 45! Go for it!

Fifty.

Emmett!

Clara!

I love you!

What's happening?

It's Clara! She's on the train!

Clara? Perfect.

She's in the cab! I'm going back for her!

The windmill!

Doc! We're going past 50! You'll never make it!

Then we'll have to take her back with us!

Keep calling out the speed!

Clara, climb out here to me!

-I don't know if I can!

-You can do it!

Just don't look down!

That's it!

Sixty miles an hour!

You're doing fine! Nice and steady!

Come on!

-Just a little further!

-I can't! I'm scared!

Seventy!

Keep coming, Clara!

Come on! You're doing fine!

Come on! Nice and easy!

Don't look down! That's it! You're doing fine!

The red log is about to blow!

Clara!

Emmett!

I'm trying to reach you!

Clara, hold on!

I can't!

I'll slip you the Hoverboard!

Marty, watch out!

Emmett, help!

Hold on!

Ready, Doc?

Catch it!

Yes!

Emmett!

Clara!

Well, Doc...

...it's destroyed.

Just like you wanted.

-Hey, butthead, get away...

-Watch it, Biff!

I didn't mean to scare you.

I didn't recognize you.

-What the hell are you doing?

-Just putting on the second coat.

You going cowboy?

Come on, guys. We'll be late for brunch.

Dad, they won't hold your reservations all day.

I can't find my glasses.

-Have you seen them?

-They're in your suede jacket.

Marty? What's wrong?

We thought you went to the lake.

-You wore that to the lake?

-Thank God you guys are back to normal.

Who are you supposed to be? Clint Eastwood?

Right. I have to go get Jennifer.

-I really like that hat.

-Thanks, Biff.

Jennifer.

Jen.

Jennifer.

Marty.

Marty!

I had the worst nightmare.

That dream I had is so real.

It was about the future.

About us.

And you got fired.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean, I got fired?

Hilldale.

Hilldale! This is where we live.

I mean, this is where we're going to live.

Someday.

It was a dream, wasn't it?

The big M.

-How's it hanging, McFly?

-Hey, Needles.

Nice set of wheels.

Let's see what she can do.

Next green light.

No, thanks.

What's the matter? Chicken?

-Marty, don't.

-Grab hold of something.

-Come on!

-Get on!

Yeah, go!

Did you do that on purpose?

Yeah. You think I'm stupid enough

to race that a**hole?

Jeez! I would have hit that Rolls-Royce.

It erased.

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

Doc's never coming back.

I'll sure miss him, Jen.

What the hell?

-Doc!

-Marty!

-Doc!

-Marty!

It runs on steam!

Meet the family. Clara, you know.

-Hi, Marty!

-Ma'am!

These are our boys:

Jules and Verne.

Boys, this is Marty and Jennifer.

-Doc, I thought I'd never see you again.

-You can't keep a good scientist down.

I had to come back for Einstein...

...and I didn't want you to be worried about me.

I brought you a little souvenir.

It's great, Doc.

Thanks.

Dr. Brown, I brought this note

back from the future...

...and now it's erased.

Of course it's erased.

What does that mean?

It means 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.

We will, Doc!

Stand back!

All right, boys, buckle up!

Where are you going now? Back to the future?

No. Already been there.
