Sunday, October 27th, 1985, 11.59am.



At Eastwood Ravine Level Crossing, Marty and Jennifer walk towards to the wreckage of the DeLorean at the side of the rail track. No one else is around.



JENNIFER


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



MARTY


Doc's never coming back. I'm sure gonna miss him, Jen.



Marty finds half of a photograph. It's Doc standing by the clock in 1885. The level crossing bells start ringing and Marty and Jennifer look in both directions. There are no trains coming!



MARTY


What the hell?



The three sonic booms are heard and a big train appears. Marty and Jennifer are thrown backwards and land on the grass. The train has ELB written on the side and Doc Brown pops his head out. He is wearing a tuxedo-ish outfit with a top hat, his hair combed.



MARTY


Doc!



DOC


Marty!



It is apparent that Doc is wearing smart clothes from the late 19th Century. Marty gets excited.



MARTY


Doc! Doc!



DOC


Marty! It runs on steam!



Doc opens the cab and Clara is standing next to him.



DOC


Meet the family. Clara, you know.



CLARA


Hi, Marty!



MARTY


Ma'am!



DOC


These are our boys!



10-year-old Jules Brown appears.



DOC


Jules!



Jules is followed by his younger brother, 8-year-old Verne.



DOC


And Verne!



The boys smile at Marty and Jennifer.



DOC


Boys, this is Marty and Jennifer.



The boys wave, and Marty and Jennifer wave back.



MARTY


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



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. I brought you a little souvenir.



Doc sits on the cab steps and gives Marty the parcel. Marty opens it and finds it's a framed photo of him and Doc at the 1885 clock tower.



MARTY


It's great Doc. Thanks.



JENNIFER


Doctor Brown?



Jennifer takes out the erased fax she brought from 2015 in Back to the Future Part II from her pocket and gives it to Doc.



JENNIFER


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



DOC


Of course it's erased!



JENNIFER


But what does that mean?



DOC


It 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 ya!



MARTY


We will, Doc!



DOC


Stand back!



The train doors close.



DOC


All right, boys, buckle up!



MARTY


Hey, Doc...where ya going now? Back to the future?



Doc shakes his head and smiles.



DOC


Nope. Already been there!



Doc and family wave at Marty and Jennifer, and they wave back. Then the train's wheels lift up. The train flies off, turns around and heads towards the camera before breaking the time barrier.



'THE END' fills the screen, followed by 'OR IS IT?'
