Sunday, October 27th, 1985, 9.00am.

The DeLorean slows down. They are still in the air. It's not apparent that they're anywhere else.

SUZY
Did we make it?

SCOTT
According to this display we did. Let's go check this place out. Oh my God, we're in 1985!

SUZY
It can't be real. It can't.

SCOTT
Look down over there where I live. It's just fields. And where's the Hill Valley freeway? It's not even been thought of yet, let alone built.

Suzy gets all excited.

SUZY
We've gotta check this place out. It's gotta be better than the Café 80s. That place is such a fake.

SCOTT
I'm gonna go see my grandparents' house.

The DeLorean swoops across the sky and down toward the house where the McFlys lived in 1985. Biff Tannen is the yard, the garage door is open and Marty's 4-by-4 is parked up inside. He looks up and sees the DeLorean flying down toward the street.

BIFF What the hell? Another flying DeLorean? That's two in two days. What the hell is going on here?

Biff rubs his eyes and shakes his head in disbelief. He doesn't see the DeLorean again.

BIFF
I really need to lay off the liquor.

Biff goes into the garage. The DeLorean drives along and stops near the house.

SCOTT
This place doesn't look much different than it does in 2015. A few less shrubs and stuff, that's about it. It looks like it's had a fresh coat of paint.

The two have a look at the house, mildly impressed.

SCOTT
Where do you want to go Suzy? Where do your folks live?

SUZY
L.A. They didn't move to Hill Valley until 1998. I wouldn't mind seeing what the town looked like. Why don't we go there?

SCOTT
Okay, let's go.

SUZY
Keep an eye out for police. We're gonna have trouble explaining that were two fifteen year old underage drivers from the future if we get caught!

The DeLorean moves on and Biff moves out of the garage unaware of it ever being there.

Scott and Suzy step around the corner into Courthouse Square, by Lou's Aerobic Studio. They look around curiously. The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News can be heard playing inside. They cross the road and local people are going about on a typical Sunday morning in 1985. Red Thomas the local bum is sleeping on the bench. The courthouse clock shows 10:04. A man walks past and throws a newspaper in the bin. Scott pulls it out and looks at the date. It says Sunday October 27 1985.

SCOTT
Do you wanna take this home as a souvenir?

A young man rushing along the street dressed in cowboy gear accidentally bumps into Scott and knocks the newspaper out of his hand. Scott sees it's his father, Marty.

MARTY
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Marty rushes off across the square.

SUZY
Nice cowboy outfit.

SCOTT
Did you see who that was? It was my dad. He must've just got back from 1885. The

DeLorean must be in a wreck near the bridge over at Eastwood Ravine. It was smashed into little pieces.
