[After witnessing Jesus get beaten by the crowd, a remorseful Judas runs to the Pharisees to confront them] [to Caiaphas]
Release him! Please!
Release him! I beg of you. [pulls out the bag of silver that was given to him] Here, take back your money, I don't need it anymore! [desperately] I have betrayed an innocent man! Please, release him!
[coldly]
If you think you have betrayed an innocent man, then that is your affair. Just take your money, and go.
[Judas is shocked and before turning his back, he rubs his face on the bag of silver and hurls it at the Pharisees' feet. Caiaphas is angered] [Outside, Judas lies on the street, all bloodied. A couple of children approaches him]
Hey, mister! Are you alright? Do you need help?
[noticing Judas's face]
Look at him! He's bleeding, he's got blood all over his face!
Yeah, you're right!
[angrily]
Will you get away from me! You little Satans!
[in unison]
He's cursing at us! He's cursed!
[the children begins to jeer and point at Judas who tries to shove them away but as he stands up, the children's faces become demonic, to Judas's horror. Judas struggles to get away while the children continues to jeer at him]
