Back To The Future Part III Page #2

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."

That's one week after you wrote the letter!

"Erected in eternal memory

by his beloved Clara."

Who the hell is Clara?

-Please don't stand there!

-Right. Sorry.

I have to get another picture.

"Shot in the back by Buford Tannen

over a matter of $80"?

What kind of a future do you call that?

"Buford Tannen was a notorious gunman...

"...whose short temper and a tendency to drool...

"...earned him the nickname 'Mad Dog.'

"He was quick on the trigger

and bragged he had killed 12 men...

"...not including Indians or Chinamen."

Does it name me? Am I one of the 12?

Wait.

"This claim cannot be proven

since precise records were not kept...

"...after Tannen shot a newspaper editor...

"...who printed an unfavorable story

about him in 1884."

That's why we can't find anything.

Look.

William McFly and family.

Your relatives?

My great-grandfather's name

was William. That's him. Good-Iooking guy.

McFlys, but no Browns.

Maybe it was a mistake.

Maybe that grave wasn't yours.

There could've been

another Emmett Brown in 1885.

Did you have any relatives here back then?
