Judah Ben-Hur: Where are my mother and sister? Where are they? Messala: Here, within these walls. The governor is recovering. They won't die. Of course, they will be sentenced. Judah Ben-Hur: Is it possible- Messala, is it possible you could do this to us? To people you've known? A family you've loved? You'll let them go. You must! You will gladly let them go! MESSALA! [pause] Judah Ben-Hur: I didn't try to kill the governor! You know that! I'm not mad! I'm not a murderer! Messala: I know you're not. Judah Ben-Hur: You know? [pause] Judah Ben-Hur: You are evil. Messala: No, Judah, I am not evil! I wanted your help, now you've given it to me. By making this example of you, I discourage treason. By condemning, without hesitation, an old friend, I shall be feared. Judah Ben-Hur: But not my family. Let them go. Please. Messala, I beg you. Messala: BEG? Didn't I beg you? You chose this for yourself. There's nothing more to be said. [With an enraged cry, Judah raises his spear as if to stab Messala] Messala: Kill me and your mother and sister will die today! Nailed to crosses in front of you! Go on, Judah! Kill me! [With another cry, Judah hurls the spear into the wall beside Messala and collapses]
