[Jesus has just been returned to Pilate after King Herod finds him innocent of the Pharisees' charges. This causes an uproar across the city and Pilate sends out soldiers to pacify the growing mobs]

Pilate:
King Herod has found no fault in Jesus, and neither have I. [the crowd jeered in disappointment, prompting Abenader to deploy soldiers to keep them under control]

Caiaphas:
[to the crowd] Silence! Have you no respect for our kind Roman procurator?! [the crowd laughs]

Pilate:
I have made it customary that every year, I release a prisoner to you, and right now, we are holding one: the murderer Barabbas!

[the Roman guards bring a filthy and bloodied Barabbas before the jeering crowd]

Pilate:
Now who among these two men do you want me to set free? Barabbas? Or Jesus, your "Messiah"?!

Caiaphas:
[referring to Jesus] He is no Messiah! He's an impostor! A blasphemer! [turns to Pilate] Set Barabbas free.

Crowd:
[in a gleeful unison] FREE BARABBAS!

Pilate:
[confused and appalled] Again I ask you! Who do you want me to set free?!

[the crowd repeats the same line, and Pilate acquiesces to their demands. Barabbas is then released, much to his joy while the crowd looks at him in disgust]

Pilate:
What do you want me to do with Jesus?!

Crowd:
CRUCIFY HIM!

Pilate:
[looks at Claudia, who is watching the trial from the veranda nearby] No! I will chastise him, and then I will set him free!

[the crowd is dismayed by the decision and they jeered at Jesus and the Romans]

Pilate:
[to Abenader] See to it that the punishment is severe, Abenader, but make sure they don't kill the man.

[Hours have passed and the skies start darkening. The crowd and the Pharisees leave while Mary, Magdalene, and John are left behind. They pass through the guards and approach Jesus, crying]

Jesus:
[struggles to speak] I... thirst.

[A sympathetic Roman guard takes a sponge from a bucket, it is soaked in vinegar. He has his fellow guard impale it on a spear and he gives the sponge to Jesus who drinks from it]

Mary:
[looks at Jesus with tears in her eyes] Flesh of my flesh, heart of my heart. My son, let me die with you.

Jesus:
[to Mary] Mother... Behold... your son! [turns to John] Son, behold... your mother! [John tearfully nods, assuring him his mother will be safe]

Gesmas:
[noticing everyone has gone and he glares at Jesus] There is no one left! They have abandoned you, Jesus!

Jesus:
[with all his strength] ELOI! ELOI! Lama Sabacthani! [turns to his friends and mother below him, softly] It is finished. [turns his head to the sky] Father... Into your hands... I give you... my spirit... [Jesus dies]

[A single raindrop, resembling a tear, drops from the heavens, triggering a powerful earthquake that shakes the whole city and damages the temple. The Roman guards guarding Jesus and the crucified criminals are ordered by Abenader to break their legs. Cassius, the sympathetic Roman guard, could not break Jesus's leg]

Abenader:
Cassius! Come on, do it!

Cassius:
[dropping his hammer] He's dead!

Abenader:
[tosses his spear to him] Make sure!

[Cassius reluctantly complies. He pierces Jesus's corpse and blood sprays out of it. Cassius's face is sprayed all over, causing him to fall to the ground, dumbstruck. Abenader and the other Roman guards are shocked, finally realizing what they have done to Jesus]
