[Jesus is now crucified on Calvary, in between two thieves.] [groans in pain]
If you are the son of God, why can't you save yourself? Prove to us that you are who you say you are! [the crowd laughs and the guards insult Jesus, gesturing him to come down]
[approaches Jesus]
You said you would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, but look at you. [to the crowd] If he is indeed the Messiah, I say he should come down from that cross, so that we may see and believe him!
[sobbing and in pain, he looks up at the sky to pray]
Father... forgive them, for... they know not what they do.
[to Caiaphas]
Listen, he's praying for you! [Caiaphas ignores him and leaves. Dismas then turns to Gesmas] We deserve this, Gesmas! He does not! [to Jesus, sobbing] My lord, I have sinned and I'm being punished justly. All that I ask of you is that you remember me when you enter your kingdom.
[smiles weakly]
Amen, I say to you... on this day... you will join me... in paradise...
[Dismas cries while Gesmas laughs with the crowd until a crow lands on the beam of his cross. The crow then plucks out his right eye. Gesmas lets out an agonizing scream while the guard below him scares off the crow before cringing in disgust as he looks at Gesmas's mutilated face]
