Outside his future home, Scott hides behind his future self's trash cans in the drive.



Barty arrives and meets up with his older Scott who's just coming out of the house.



BARTY


Dad! Dad, I've got them.



OLDER SCOTT


The Halloween costumes?



BARTY


Yeah. I went down to the 24-hour costume hire and got them. I figured they'd be none left if I went later on.



OLDER SCOTT


Let's have a look then.



Older Scott pulls a zombie mask out of the bag.



OLDER SCOTT


Cool, a zombie mask.



Older Scott tries it on.



OLDER SCOTT


Roar!!! I'm coming to get you.



Older Scott starts to chase Barty.



BARTY


Hey leave it out dad!



Older Scott makes moaning zombie sounds. Barty runs of giggling. They run into the road.



Younger Scott looks around the trash cans. He sees his earlier self watching from across the road and mouthing towards older Scott and Barty to get back on the sidewalk.



Older Scott and Barty move back onto the sidewalk. Younger Scott comments to himself.



YOUNGER SCOTT


This is it.



Older Scott pulls off the zombie mask and stands there looking confused.



BARTY


Dad? Are you alright?



OLDER SCOTT


I just had the strangest feeling of deja-vu.



A black cat runs into the road as the car approaches causing it to swerve onto the sidewalk. Older Scott turns to see the stolen car with Griff Junior and Wayne in heading straight for him at speed. Barty dives out of the way.



Younger Scott rushes from the trash cans and lunges towards his older self.


Older Scott is pushed out of the way by younger Scott, who then sees the car heading straight for him.



Suddenly there is blackness.



Scott opens his eyes blearily and makes out a figure in a bedroom.



YOUNGER SCOTT


Mom... Mom... Is that you?



ELLIE


There, there, now, just relax. You've been asleep for a couple of hours.



SCOTT


I had a horrible nightmare, dreamed I went back into the future, it was terrible.... I saved him... me... It came at me... Got to get back in time...



ELLIE


There, there now, take it easy, you've had an accident. You're very lucky, you landed on the grass. You're safe and sound, now, back in good old 2045.
