[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] [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] [looks at Jesus with tears in her eyes]
Flesh of my flesh, heart of my heart. My son, let me die with you.
[to Mary]
Mother... Behold... your son! [turns to John] Son, behold... your mother! [John tearfully nods, assuring him his mother will be safe]
[noticing everyone has gone and he glares at Jesus]
There is no one left! They have abandoned you, 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]
Cassius! Come on, do it!
[dropping his hammer]
He's dead!
[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]
