Original subtitles

Josh Gates here and I've been sent on the expedition of a lifetime.

Wow.

Me, a very real TV person, enlisted by Doc Brown...

- I need your help. - Okay

...a very fictional movie person,

to track down the Back to the Future DeLorean time machine

seen in this newspaper from the very near future.

- Hey, is that me? - Yes, that's you!

And Michael J. Fox?

I know. Crazy.

This is bananas.

Apparently, the future depends on us getting this car to Michael J. Fox

to benefit his foundation.

Find this handsome older man,

find the car and get it to Michael.

Naturally, we assumed the car we were looking for was the one used in the movie.

But according to Back to the Future co-creator Bob Gale.

There were actually seven DeLoreans used throughout the trilogy.

- Seven cars? - Seven. Absolutely.

Okay.

One by one, we tracked them all down...

It's the Old West car from the third movie!

Oh, crap.

Something's wrong!

...as well as some very cool original items from the movies...

- [gasps] The prom dress! - Yes!

The letter! This letter saved your life, Chris.

The one and only Brain Wave Analyzer.

[Josh] Get the hell out of here!

...no thanks to Christopher Lloyd who kept only one thing from the shoot.

You're telling me you were in the most iconic film franchise of all time

and all you kept was that lousy shirt?

Eventually, we discovered that the car in the photo isn't one of the original seven.

In fact, it doesn't exist.

- We have to build it ourselves! - Oh!

First, we had to find a stock DeLorean,

which was a dicey proposition, to say the least.

I named my pet rat "Doc".

But, uh, successful.

I don't wanna know, do I?

- You most certainly do not. - Okay.

Now we have a DeLorean, but what we need is a time machine.

So we've teamed up with time-machine expert Danny Botkin.

You are the DeLorean guy!

- Yes, I am. - All right.

...and legendary special-effects supervisor Kevin Pike.

This guy know something about building time machines?

He should. He built the original.

...to construct the most authentic DeLorean time machine possible.

No cutting corners. It has to be immaculate.

My team has assembled.

Now, let's get to work.

[theme music playing]

I'm Josh Gates, and this is Expedition Back to the Future.

So my mission is clear.

Now, the plan.

We have no time to waste.

So Danny and his team are starting the transformation at his shop.

But he's only going to get so far

because there are some key parts this project needs

and, luckily, finding things is kind of my jam.

The car in the newspaper is still disappearing,

and it's up to me to change the tide.

Actually, it's up to me and my new best friend.

- Hey, wanna hear my Doc Brown impression? - [Chris] No.

- [imitates Doc Brown] Marty! - Oi!

If you're gonna do it, do it.

- Marty! - Marty!

- Marty! - Marty!

It's like he's way out there, small guy on the horizon.

[Josh] Marty!

[yelling] Marty!

[yelling] Marty!

[both yelling] Marty!

- What do you think? - You'll never get it.

And if this was just a normal car build,

we'd just go down to the car parts store.

But we are building a time machine.

And last time I checked, there is no local store to get those parts.

But according to Kevin Pike, there just might be.

- [Josh] This place is crazy. - I know.

- Hey, man. How are you? - Hey, great to see you guys. Thanks for coming.

We've got some work to do.

This is where we're gonna start to find

some of the parts that we need that we talked about.

- Uh-huh. - Where are we? What is this?

This is the famous Apex Surplus,

where all the builders of props and effects guys

came to get all the stuff that they need

to do what they need for the sets.

First time I remember coming here was 1976,

and we loaded up everything that we though we might need,

and we went to location in Mobile, Alabama

to do Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Wow. A movie that has a ton of techno-gizmo-blinky-light kind of stuff in it.

- And a big sign that has to tell the story. - Right.

So that big sign, the big communicator sign was built from parts here?

- Definitely. - Wow, that's incredible.

So if you need some sort of gizmo, this is your spot.

This is where we came to get the gizmos

that we needed to build a DeLorean time machine.

So this place is kind of a studio secret?

It's not a secret to the studios,

but it's a secret to a lot of people that wonder where these things came from.

Right.

[Josh] I mean, just look at this place.

Apex Surplus has been in operation for nearly half a century.

A family-owned business, founded by William Slater

who used to drive around L.A.

picking up scrap metal and surplus goods

from Lockheed, Webber Aircraft and Boeing,

just to name a few.

It all began as an electronics junkyard,

and morphed over the years to become the number one resource for prop masters

looking to build unique contraptions for TV and film.

Not only did they provide Kevin Pike with the resources he needed

to build the time machine from Back to the Future,

but they have been instrumental in the making of a ton of blockbusters.

Air Force One, Bladerunner, Ghostbusters, The Matrix, Titanic.

Crazy to think that all of this stuff could help create so much movie magic.

So you know what we're looking for?

I know the car. I know the parts.

And I know where we got 'em.

And hopefully, we can find them here.

- Okay, so... - All right.

The hunt begins.

Our parts list is extensive.

And quite honestly, super weird.

We're not looking for normal, custom car stuff like a set of Foose rims.

Our list includes parts like flux boxes

smoke units and plutonium gauges.

Shh. Don't tell the Libyans.

If you need a missile, I found 'em.

But our biggest-ticket item...

Well, all Kevin said is we need to find a few very rare parts for the flux capacitor.

Now, he didn't tell me what those parts are,

but he did tell me we need to find them.

Hey, Kevin, did the DeLorean have a flamethrower?

[Kevin] No!

Wow, this place is big.

- Josh! - Yeah!

Where are you?

Uh, I don't know, where are you?

I don't know. Aisle B.

Aisle B?

Chris? Chris, what do you see?

Stuff!

Okay, I think I know where that is.

Well, so far, my team is striking out.

[grunts]

I just hope Danny and his team

are having better luck back at the garage.

[rock music playing]

[machine beeping]

[gasps] My dad's laptop.

Amazing.

Wow, what is this?

Ancient.

Hey, Chris, I found your answering machine.

Ah!

Josh!

[Kevin] Gentlemen, join me inside.

There's an inside?

I've got so many stories to tell.

- What happened? You okay? - Oh, yeah, I'm okay

All right, now we're getting down to it.

It is absolutely time to get serious.

Because... [gasps]

This looks awesome!

[instrumental music playing]

Global thermonuclear war.

- [computer] Ten, nine, eight... - Uh-oh.

- Booster. - Check.

- Preflight. - Check.

Chris, I'm gonna need you to press every single button in this room.

- Fuel systems. - Check

- Gyro. - [grunts]

I hope none of this is hooked up to anything.

Okay, Chris, I need a go/no-go for launch.

- Ready? - Yeah, yeah

Ooh. Chris, this thing's in Russian and it's counting down.

Let me just... Oh, it's going faster now.

- Okay, let's do this. - Check!

We are go for launch, people. This is not a drill.

- Go, go. - This is what we trained for.

[Chris] Brace yourselves!

- Chris, what are we doing here again? - I don't... [grunts]

- Oh, time machine! - Right!

- Sorry, okay, let's... let's... We got a mission. Come on. - Yeah.

All right, team. Let's go shopping.

- Right here. This is ribbon wire. - Yeah.

Every one of these can connect to all the digital readouts

that are on the circuit boards on the dash

- How much of that do we need? - All of that

- The whole spool? - Well...

You don't wanna have less.

All right, all right, I got it. One spool.

Remember all the wires that they clumped together

and ran along the outside for decoration?

- Yes! - All across the dashboard?

We want the thick kind, in plenty of colors.

I got white, I got blue, here's red.

- Are there carts around here? - If you can find purple, we need that.

- Purple! - Oh, my gosh, look

This is the emergency light that's on the interior.

It's in almost every shot that we do.

It never lights up. There's no story point to it.

But everybody has to have these.

And the ones that they can't find, they make from scratch.

And that's the unit?

- This is the one you need. - Amazing. Okay, great.

- I didn't even know this was in the car. - Yeah

Oh, right here.

Here it is. We need one of these.

This goes right behind the passenger seat,

- on the back bulkhead, we took the windshield out. - Right.

It was back there and we put that on it.

It never blew anything, but... This is a copy.

And this is in reality, just some sort of industrial blower?

It is.

I love that I'm learning that this whole car

is just made up of crazy spare parts.

It was art, made by a crazy guy.

We always had to get reminded, "Keep it homemade.",

As Doc Brown made it.

- [Josh] That's right. - [Kevon] And that goes on.

[Josh] Turns out you're a genius.

- Was I? - Yeah, amazing.

Like many Back to the Future fans,

I've been collecting memorabilia for quite some time.

I'm Steven McGuigan, and this is my collection.

One thing in particular that I'm most proud of, I purchased a DeLorean in 2015

and this year, finally finished converting it to a time machine replica.

I've spent the past few years designing and building parts from scratch,

purchasing original pieces online,

or replica pieces from other time-machine builders.

Like most conversions, it's not 100% screen-accurate,

but this one is completely reversible.

And as Doc says, "Your future hasn't been written yet, so make it a good one."

And maybe I'll see you in the future.

[dramatic music playing]

[Kevin] What's next?

- You tell me. - Score.

Looks like a fire extinguisher.

It was a container that was supposed to dispense some of the fire on the car.

It goes behind the driver's seat. That's a score.

The meters for the dash.

We need the Roentgen meter that goes

right on where the dash compartment would normally go.

[Josh] Right.

[Kevin] And then the other meter goes beside it on the dash.

These I recognize.

- We need those, those are good. - That's awesome.

- Okay, look at that. - Crazy.

Okay, this is more than a bit surreal.

This is like being at the supermarket but instead of buying groceries,

I'm buying surplus electronic parts identical to those

used to create the original DeLorean time machine

in the place where they were originally found

with the guy who built the original.

[Josh Gates] In other words,

this is the coolest shopping spree I have ever been on.

[John gasps]

[Kevin Pike] I know you know what this is.

- I know what that is. - I do know what this is.

Here you go.

This is the switch that turns on the time circuits.

[Kevin] The one that Michael did by mistake.

Right, he hits it with his elbow.

Got him in trouble.

You're telling me the thing that turns on

the time circuits is a three-in-one battery brush?

[Kevin] It had to be big and it had to be smooth,

so we glued the caps on and then sprayed it black

and it was nice and easy for him to hit.

[Josh] But inside, the whole time, are just battery brushes.

Shh.

I love that the thing that turns on the time machine costs $3.

The mother of inventions.

Wow!

[Josh] I'm learning so much today about time machine construction

Hey, hey, hey.

Look at this.

- Oh, get out of town. - There it is.

This...

Is what you need, right on your dash,

to put in the time of where you wanna go.

Here we go. November 5, 1955.

And then one of these, right?

Yes. You do it right, it'll disappear.

- Doesn't work. It's not plugged in. - Oh.

[Josh] Okay, our cart is full,

but we're still missing one last treasure.

The flux capacitor.

It's the heart and soul of the time machine.

That's what makes time travel possible!

Exactly.

[Josh] And no matter what Danny does to outfit the DeLorean,

Without a working flux capacitor,

we don't have a time machine. It is that simple.

- Hey, excuse me. - Yes?

Do you have any Torr high voltage relays?

I have the T8T's

We want the TVS-1's.

Those are nearly impossible to find anymore.

[man] But we might have some in the back. Hold on a second.

- I need three of them. - Okay.

Thanks.

Okay, so, what are those?

Those are the essential parts of the flux capacitor.

- [Josh] Oh, the three tubes. - [Chris] Ah.

[Kevin] That's the holy grail, right there.

It's just so beautiful.

And their styling, they have the electrodes,

they look like they focused the energy.

And what were they originally?

[Kevin] They're aircraft relays of some kind and they're hard to find.

[Josh] They don't make them anymore?

They don't make them and they're often broken.

Okay. All right, well, fingers crossed.

All right, you guys are in luck.

- [Josh] You got them? - [man] I got three of them.

[Josh chuckling]

I got that, Chris. Let me carry those. Okay.

-Thank you very much -[man] There you go.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Unbelievable. - We're lucky.

All right, let's checkout, I'm just gonna cradle these.

- Okay. - For the rest of your life.

[laughs]For the rest of my life. Come on.

Grimes emergency light.

Roentgen meter.

[Josh] Tick-tock, tick-tock. Time is running out.

Back at the shop, Danny brought in some major help.

So you have to get everything lined up

while we get the smoke machine we brought out of the way.

That's cool. So you have the smoke machine controls

- hidden inside the Mr. Fusion. - Right in here.

[Josh] Danny called in the guy who spearheaded the original restoration

of the original A-car that we saw at the Petersen Museum.

Expert builder, Joe Walser.

Just to give you an idea of his dedication to the A-car restoration,

the original build for the filming of the movie

took ten weeks.

Nobody said time-machine building was easy.

[Josh] Joe Walser then spent two years

dismantling, restoring,

and rebuilding the neglected car.

The idea was to make it better than new.

A completely film-accurate DeLorean time machine

with a few upgrades to the interior.

- And done. - [Danny] Done.

The other thing that makes time travel possible.

- Mr. Fusion? - Mr. Fusion.

[Josh] I let Danny know that Chris, Kevin, and I

hit a home run and are on our way to drop off the parts.

This looks great, Danny.

How epic is that?

[Josh] I can't do Marty at all, though.

His voice is... It's too high a register

and it's, like, kinda Canadian.

- Uh-huh. - And it cracks all the time.

- "You're telling me?" - [Chris laughs]

I can't get up there. "You made a time machine?"

Are you telling me that you built a time machine

[panting] out of a DeLorean?

"You don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium!"

Doc, you don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium!

- [laughing] - Is it getting better?

- It really is. Really. - It's not, really.

He says, "You're telling me this sucker is nuclear?"

Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?

-Wow -We're getting there.

[Josh] The eagle has landed. Chris and I dropped off the parts we found at Apex,

so now Danny and company have everything they need.

Time to make some magic.

["Back In Time" playing]

All right, get 'em in, making sure they're all facing the right way.

♪ Take me away, I don't mind ♪

♪ But you'd better promise me, I'll be back in time ♪

Hey. All right, we have lights. We got power.

♪ Gotta get back in time ♪

[Josh] At its core, the notion of traveling through time has fascinated humans

since, well, the beginning of time.

H.G. Wells actually coined the term "time machine,"

popularizing the conceit that time travel had to rely on some kind of device.

[Joe] Cool. All right.

[Josh] Over the years,

it's been reimagined as everything

from an amulet to a hot tub.

From a simple phone booth in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,

to perhaps the second most famous time machine in pop culture,

the blue police box known as the TARDIS from Doctor Who.

And while all of these are fantastic fictional time-traveling devices,

nothing can really compare in the cool department

to the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future.

Perfect.

♪ Gotta get back in time ♪

♪ Gotta get back in time ♪

- [Danny] Lined up. - Here you go, buddy.

Okay. Looking like a complete car now.

♪ Gotta get back in time ♪

[Chris] Michael, I need you to make yourself available the day after tomorrow.

[Josh whispering] Is that Michael J. Fox?

[Chris shushing]

Can you do that?

- I can't tell you why, yeah. - What?

You just gotta trust me.

- You're not gonna tell him? - No, I'm not in trouble.

It's nothing like last time.

Well, I paid you back.

I meant to, anyway.

Okay, all right. Day after tomorrow. See you there.

Bye.

So what happened last time?

My attorney advised me not to discuss the incident.

Mmm-hmm

I can't believe I'm gonna get to meet Michael J. Fox. I mean, that's crazy.

I just hope we can get the damn thing built in time.

- Yeah. - [cell phone ringing]

Uh, hello?

[Danny] Hey, guys, it's Danny.

I need Chris back here at the shop, ASAP.

[Josh] When I started on this journey,

I was pretty much just a Back to the Future superfan.

But now, I'm starting to feel like something of an expert.

Did you know this fact to the future?

The overflowing bowl of peanut brittle George McFly

munches on when he's sitting at the table with Marty and his family,

actually has a backstory.

The idea was to show George McFly as a pathetic and ineffectual character.

As he pours the bowl of peanut brittle,

Marty gives him a disgusted look,

which, to casual observers, might seem odd.

After all, peanut brittle is pretty good.

Believe me Marty, you're better off

without having to worry about all the aggravations

and headaches of playing at that dance.

[Dave] He's absolutely right, Marty.

Turns out, though, the look of disgust comes from an earlier deleted scene.

Try it once, okay? For me.

Just say "no." N-O, no.

[knock at door]

Hey, McFly, my kid here is selling peanut brittle for a team.

It's $5 a box, I put you down for a case, okay?

Um... [clears throat]

- Okay. - Great.

It's out in the car, I'll go get it.

See, honey, I told you. We only have to go to one house.

[Josh] So, Marty's look of disgust at the dinner table

is more a look of disappointment at his father's inability

to stand up for himself rather than his distaste for peanut brittle.

Afraid I'm just not very good at confrontations.

While it's understandable why this scene was cut,

it does make George McFly's heroic transformation at the end of part one

all the more exciting.

- Hello. - Good morning.

[Marty fainting]

[upbeat music playing]

Hi, we are Markus and Kathy, and we are cosplaying Marty and Doc since 2014.

[Kathy] 2015, we've met many Back to the Future actors.

2017, we imported our DeLorean from California,

and we had a big barbeque welcome party.

2019, we flew to Los Angeles and we visited the original

Back to the Future filming locations.

In the meanwhile, we visited a lot of conventions,

dressed up as Marty and Doc,

and had a lot of good friends who joined us

to make a big and huge Back to the Future cosplay crew.

[Kathy] And it was amazing.

[Josh] Uh-oh. Okay, everything seemed to be going good,

then we got a strange call from Danny.

[Danny] I need Chris back here at the shop, ASAP.

[Josh] I'm not gonna lie, I'm very nervous.

Because we are out of options and we are out of time.

[Josh] Hey, Dan, we came as soon as we could.

[gasps] It looks done!

- Almost. We're getting there. - Wow.

We're just missing one key component.

- Chris. - Me?

[Danny] The car was built for you.

You gotta take the driver's seat.

Let me know how it feels.

Gotta have Doc Brown's approval, right?

- Whoa. - [Josh and Danny laugh]

All right.

- [Chris] Ah. - Ah, like a glove.

Now this brings me back.

Even the shirt looks better now.

[Josh and Chris chuckle]

- Yeah. - Well, what do you think?

[Chris] It's beautiful. The keypad, the switchboard.

[gasps] The flux capacitor is exact!

Well, we were lucky Kevin helped us find those last few parts.

Yeah, it's perfect. Ha! Perfect.

- Oh, Michael's gonna be so happy about this. - Yeah?

[clicks tongue]

[Chris] Oh, yes.

Okay, I gotta geek out here a little bit.

- Can I sit in this? - You gotta let him.

Of course.

- Yeah? - [Danny] Go for it.

All right, come on. If I can fit in it.

Oh yeah. [chuckling]

- What do you think, Josh? - It's... Like, I might cry.

I honestly feel like I'm in high school.

I seriously... I feel like I'm a kid again!

It's... It's just... It is the time machine.

[Josh] Back to the Future helped define my childhood.

I remember sitting with friends,

watching old VHS copies of the movie, imagining,

fantasizing, what it would have been like to be Marty.

And now look at me!

I spent years wishing I could be right here

sitting in Doc's DeLorean time machine,

and now it is actually happening.

It really is a dream come true.

But this, this is not about me. It's about this car.

This incredible creation that is now going to help a lot of people.

You have done a killer job, really, and right on time.

- [Danny] Thank you. - Yeah, incredible.

Incredible. I have to get a selfie. I mean, I can't live with myself if I don't.

Okay. All right, selfie time. Here we go.

- [glass breaking] - Ooh! Shit!

[Chris] What happened?

I think I just broke it.

[Josh] Oh, God. Danny, tell me you have more of those Torr relays.

[Danny] No. Only the ones you got from Apex.

[Josh] Oh, my God! Chris, check the newspaper.

What?

No! No!

[Josh] It never happens. I blew it. We failed.

[Danny] Look, I could put some dummy parts in.

- It won't be perfect, but... - No.

It's a bust. We're done.

No, no, no, take it easy, take it easy.

It's such a joke. I... I...

I can find a lost temple in the jungles of Guatemala.

- No, no, no... - I can't make a time machine out of a fricking DeLorean?

...you're going overboard here.

I'm done, man. I'm done.

- Josh. Josh! - Chris, I'm sorry I dragged you into this.

- We have 48 hours! - I'm sorry.

[screaming]

Danny.

I got an idea.

[sighs wearily]

I, Dr. Emmett Brown

am about to embark on a historic journey.

[sighs]

I almost forgot to bring extra plutonium.

How did I ever expect to get back?

One pellet, one trip.

I must be out of my mind.

[dog barking on tv]

[Doc Brown] What is it, Einie?

[cell phone vibrating]

Hey.

[Chris] Josh, I need you to meet me tonight. It's urgent.

Chris, man, I told you...

[Chris] I'll text you the address.

[phone beeping]

Chris, maybe just tell me.

Great Scott!

Hi, We're the Nairn family, and this is...

Back to the Future stuff.

Our Back to the Future stuff! Yay!

Let's have a look and see what we've got.

We have on there... We got all that.

And LEGO, and hoverboard.

And this is some stuff we've got on display on our wall, isn't it?

Because we love...

Back to the Future!

[Josh] Just when I thought this adventure couldn't get any weirder...

After all, we completed our mission,

and I ruined everything,

because I broke the single most important part of the time machine,

the flux capacitor.

Selfie time, here we go.

Ooh, shit.

[Josh] We don't have time to make another one,

even if we could find the parts.

So why am I here, at the mall, in the dark?

I honestly have no idea.

All I know is Chris called me and asked me to meet him here,

and that all my questions would be answered, in time.

Great Scott!

[instrumental music playing]

Hey!

[Josh gasps]

We built a time machine, out of a DeLorean.

We most certainly did.

Not just any time machine.

Care to do the honors?

It works?

Of course it works.

Give it a try. Let's see some serious shit.

[grunts]

Okay.

Backing up.

[all laughing]

I got it, I got it, I got it.

Okay, here we go. Back.

Oh, my God!

- Okay, ready? - Yeah.

Here we go.

[laughs]

- Holy shit! - Unbelievable.

[Chris] Left turn.

Whoa.

[Chris] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, here we go, bringing it in.

- I'll try not to run us over. - Yeah, yeah.

Here we go.

- And... - Whoa!

Unbelievable. Ha!

It's amazing. It really is amazing, but...

It doesn't matter.

None of this. None of this matters.

- Why? - Look at the paper?

We failed.

Maybe so.

Maybe not.

[door hissing open]

I brought you something.

What's this?

Is this what I think it is?

It is.

This is the original!

That's the original.

I thought you said you didn't keep anything from the movie.

Well, I figured, "What the hell."

Ha!

[instrument buzzing]

All right.

You ready to hit the road and get this thing to Michael?

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need...

It doesn't fly, Chris.

Oh, then we definitely need roads.

Yeah. Okay, here we go.

[Josh] This is our last stop. New York City.

And now, it all culminates here in the theater

Where Michael J. Fox will be presented

with his most screen-accurate

remote-controlled, personalized,

not-flying, not disappearing

DeLorean time machine.

As I said, it has been a long and twisted road to get here.

But as it were, where we're going, we won't need roads.

Maybe a massage and a nap though, that'd be nice.

Chris? Chris, where you at?

Chris, you're looking for me?

- Michael! - Hi, buddy.

Oh, man!

[Chris] This is great, this is great.

Well, this is my very good friend, Josh.

- Josh, I'm Michael. - Great to meet you.

- Pleasure to meet you. - Yeah.

W brought you something for the Foundation.

- You... What? - Pretty exciting. Yeah.

- Are you ready? - Show me.

- Okay. - Show me.

Whoa! Great Scott!

[Chris laughs]

This is outstanding.

- What the... - How about that?

Where'd you get this?

We kind of made it.

We built it.

Well, you did good.

Let's see. Can I check it out?

[Chris] Yeah.

It's outstanding. It is. It's amazing.

It was a labor of love.

[Josh] Labor of love is an understatement.

This whirlwind of an expedition took us to extraordinary places,

meeting so many people who graciously helped us on our mission

along the way.

We tracked down seven DeLoreans.

Then built one from scratch.

We dodged a few bullets,

and competed our tasks with zero casualties.

Well, maybe one or two.

Ooh.

[gasps]

Oh.

[Josh] I'm gonna pay for that!

[Josh whispering] No, I'm not.

When all was said and done, we ended up with

this one of a kind Back to the Future time machine.

We used all original parts.

Uh, we worked with the designer who did the original time machine,

and, uh, I mean, we made it as authentic as we could.

I feel like it's same as in '85. I feel like I could...

- [Josh] Yeah? - [Chris] Yeah.

- Chris gave us the... - Flux capacitor.

Not the original one.

No, that's the original.

- Oh. - Yeah, the real deal from the movie.

- You telling me this is for the Foundation? - [Chris] Yes.

You know how much money we could raise with this thing?

Uh, yeah, we have, we have we have some idea.

This is amazing, guys. It's fantastic.

[Josh] Oh, I'm glad you like it.

Oh, and one other thing.

It, uh... It's remote-controlled.

- This is remote-controlled? - Yes.

- Get out of town! - Don't... Don't touch anything.

Yeah, not enough space here.

It really... it really is remote-controlled.

- Oh, cool. - So, we wanna...

I could do some real damage with this thing.

We went all out, man. We wanted to make it

- as perfect as we could. - You did it right.

You did well. Well, thanks so much.

- Thank you, man. - Buddy.

Hey! Goddammit.

[Josh] This has been an adventure for the books,

and one I will never forget.

Traveling all over the country,

with one of the greatest actors of our time,

and meeting amazing people along the way.

Whoa, this is heavy.

It's been a dream come true,

one that I had to convince myself several times

was not actually a dream.

To be here,

sharing a stage with Michael J. Fox,

and giving him a time machine

that will help him on his mission to change lives,

is extraordinary.

Hey, can we get a picture, the three of us with it?

- Yeah, yeah, sure. - Here, hold this.

Uh, excuse me!

[Josh] And I'm sure wherever my old friend Doc Brown is,

he would be smiling right now.

Uh, excuse me.

Would you mind taking a picture for us?

I would love to.

Thanks.

Now that I'm officially a tiny part of the incredible Back to the Future community,

and the space-time continuum is safe, I have to say...

Okay.

...I'm pretty sure this mission was my density.

Uh, sorry, destiny.
