SOAP: The Alternate Reality - Episode 10

Tates House

Burt: Danny what happened to Elaine?

Danny: I don't know, the window was torn in the bathroom. I have a feeling they took her through there.

Burt: Who did?

Major: Well I'm guessing the Germans. We still haven't captured all of them yet.

Danny: No, it was Westers and Johnson!

Jessica: Oh no, not them again.

Julie: Tom, were those the people who shot at you?

Tom: One of them was, but we arrested her.

Burt: Don't worry Danny we'll get her back. I'm the sheriff in town and it will be my job to save her! >Danny: Thanks Burt. Let's get out of here now. I think we have some work to do.

<The Campbells leave and the Martins are getting up too.>

Tom: It was nice seeing all of you again, I hope we can have more plans like this soon.

<The Martins leave and the camera pans back to show the food that was left in the house from the food-fight. Chester looks at Benson.>

Benson: Oh no I don't. I'm not cleaning this up.

Boston Office

<Billy comes walking in with a folder. He goes up the secretary.>

Secretary: Yes can I have your name sir?

Billy: Billy Tate. I have an appointment with Mr. Fitzgerald.

Secretary: Oh yes, from the billionare Tate family. We've been expecting you. Go upstairs please.

<Billy goes into the office and he meets with Mr. Fitzgerald.>

Mr. Fitzgerald: You must be Billy Tate.

Billy: Yes sir!

Mr. Fitzgerald: Well I've heard so much about you! What's it like living in a mansion your whole life and not having to do a thing to earn it?

Billy: Actually that's the main reason why I am looking for work. I need to make a living and feel good about it. I can't live off of someone else's fortune even if it was my father's.

Mr. Fitzgerald: I like your attitude! But what do you think you can do for the manufacturing department to make us a bigger success?

Billy: I think a new brand of mens wear could be made for the rich and famous feel. A little overpriced, but the jewlery looks so nice that people wouldn't mind spending the extra fifty dollars than they really should.

Mr. Fitzgerald: I like these ideas Billy! I think you're just the man to fill the shoes of my old Vice President of Marketing for the mens wear.

Billy: What happened to him?

Mr. Fitzgerald: He died from stress. Don't worry though, we've grown since his departure and you'll have so much work that stress will be your middle name and you'll love it!

Billy: I love it already.

Mr. Fitzgerald: Of course you do!

<Mr. Fitzgerald takes Billy into his new office where he gets his own television set, bathroom and pull out bed.>

Mr. Fitzgerald: I know this may seem like a lot but you're going to have a lot of late nights and since my secretary told me you don't have a place to stay in yet I'm sure you could use the office as a bedroom of yours. I'll let you get comfortable and be ready at 9AM to start work tomorrow.

Billy: Do you live in the area Mr. Fitzgerald?

Mr. Fitzgerald: Actually, I live down the hall. I barely sleep. All I do is work. I'm thinking that maybe you can be the same way as I am and one day you can own the company.

Billy: You really think so?

Mr. Fitzgerald: I know it!

<Mr. Fitzgerald leaves Billy in awe of his office.>

Billy: This is what I get for one year of college. I never knew having a rich background would get me good jobs. I would have left the house years ago!

Tates House. Jessica's Bedroom

<Jessica is brushing her hair and Chester comes in the bedroom tired.>

Jessica: It will be all over shortly right?

Chester: What do you mean? The trial?

Jessica: Yes. I'm not going to be found guilty am I?

Chester: No of course not.

Jessica: But it's just I can't help but feel like Homer Simpson.

Chester: Homer Simpson?

Jessica: Yes, you know that yellow guy who was put on trial for murdering his ex-wife.

Chester: You mean O.J. Simpson?

Jessica: Oh yes that's right! Well I just can't help but feel like him.

Chester: You never killed anyone.

Jessica: But he was put on trial for something that could have gotten him killed if he was found guilty.

Chester: But he wasn't found guilty, and neither will you. And the difference between the both of you is that you never actually did commit the crime. No one can convict you dear because they would have to be insane to even think you could believe in evil thoughts.

Jessica: But Judge Petrillo is back on the case. You even sounded scared.

Chester: He likes you honey. It's me he doesn't like and I'm not on trial.

Jessica: Thank you Chester. I really love you.

Chester: Do you want to go to bed now?

Jessica: I'd love to.

<Chester and Jessica go to bed and they turn off the lights.>

Billy's Office

<Billy is reading the newspaper as the fax machine starts going. Billy goes and takes out the piece of paper.>

Billy: It must be my first assignment. Let's see what it says. "I can prove you're a fraud!"

<Billy looks like there's terror in his eyes and he crumbles up the piece of paper and throws it away.>

Billy: It's definately nothing. No one knows about the fake identification and no one would honestly really go out of their way to pull a stunt like that on me.

<Billy takes a big gulp and is scared but goes to sleep.>

Court House

Mr. Mallu: Your honor, I would love for this case to be the shortest thing you've ever had to sit through. You've had the pleasure to sit in on Mrs. Tate once before with the trial of Peter Campbell. It becomes quite obvious that Jessica Tate would never even want to cause trouble. This poor lady has suffered from so much already that it's a joke to even accuse her of arson, especially of her own home that she's lived in for her whole life.

Judge Patrillo: Thank you. Does the prosecutor have anything to say?

Prosecutor: Yes. Just take a look into Mrs. Tates hair. Red. Red like the flames she brought upon her house. Red like the blood she would have loved >to see draw out of everyones face after the explosion on the Tates house!

Jessica: I object! My hair is colored this way! If you really want to know sir, I am growing in grey streaks! Now why would a woman of fif....thirty want to be seen with grey hair! You have some nerve.

Judge Patrillo: Mrs. Tate please sit down and allow the Prosecutor to continue!

Jessica: Fine!

Prosecutor: Actually I'd like to call Mrs. Tate onto the stand.

Judge Patrillo: Mrs. Tate please come and sit down in the chair to my right.

Jessica: You just told me to sit here!

Judge Patrillo: I'm not telling you to sit there anymore. Don't cause >trouble!

Jessica: Fine!

<Jessica goes and sits down in the chair.>

Prosecutor: Mrs. Tate, can you honestly say you've never had a violent thought!

Jessica: Yes. I don't even have nightmares! I just dream about clouds.

Prosecutor: I find this hard to believe. You a young lady at the age of thir....twenty five has to have had one violent thought in her life.

Jessica: Okay! I admit it.

Prosecutor: I knew it!!! Lock her Patrillo, we found the arsonist.

Jessica: NO!! I was going to say that once I wanted to kill this mosquito. It got in my dessert and it was so disgusting and Benson didn't have any slices of pie left over. But I didn't kill him! I swear it! That's just not me to be violent in such a manner. Now prosecutor, any further questions?

Prosecutor: No that's all. But let me re-state the facts. All the evidence was found in Jessica's bedroom that leads us to believe she bombed the house. Computers have records of her using a credit card to buy supplies. Checks were even signed with her signature. Now tomorrow Mrs. Tate when I question you again, please give me an answer as to why everything points to you! And >Judge Patrillo, please get back to me and tell me if the execution law passed by sheriff Burt Campbell three years ago is still in effect for arsoning in Dunn's River.

A deserted building in New York City.

<Elaine is sitting on a bed tied up. There is no possible way for her to escape.

Elaine: Let me go!!!! You can't kidnap me like this!

Westers: Oh Elaine this is where you're wrong. We're going to keep you until the Tates and Campbells are both sweating in pain.

Elaine: Haven't you done enough already?

Johnson: We've just started lady!

Elaine: Well aren't going to let me go?

Westers: Yes, but first we're going to poison you and leave it for the Campbells to figure out how to cure you before it's too late and you die.

Elaine: No don't do it!

Westers: Once you swallow the pill your liver will erode and your stomach will collapse.

Elaine: No!!!!!

<Johnson tries putting the pill in Elaine's mouth but she won't open up. Behind her Westers puts a needle into the back of her neck. Johnson stops trying to give her a pill.>

Westers: You honestly thought we'd give you a pill. I knew you would squirm so if you never knew I'd be giving you a shot, then you wouldn't shake all over.

Elaine: You guys are the worse men I've ever met.

Johnson: Oh we're getting even worse!

Westers: That's right, have fun getting home Elaine!

<Westers tosses her outside of their window which is on the second floor so it's not that high up. >

Westers: I hope you know the highway very well!!!!!!!

Announcer: Will Elaine come home in time for the Campbells to save her? Will Jessica be found guilty or will Judge Patrillo have sympathy for her this time around?? And if she is found guilty will she be put on the chair for the death penalty? Will Billy continue his job or will he be exposed as a fraud? Will Westers and Johnson ever get caught or will they just cause havoc on the family for the rest of their lives? These questions and many >others may be answered in the next episode of
