Ben and Fisk in “Unfinished Business”

Ben

People seek the truth no matter where they find it.

Fisk

That may have been the case when you and I were young. This world around us is preoccupied with celebrity weddings and videos of cats. But complicated issues, issues that matter? They take too much focus. They take too much time away from texting and the thousand channels on the satellite dish.

Ben

Guess I have more faith in humanity.

Fisk

Ah. So did Christ, if I recall. I'll go. Just one more thing: Were you alone when you spoke to my mother?

Ben

[realizing] Your guy at the Bulletin?

Fisk

Yes, I received a call that was upsetting. Were you alone?

Ben

Yeah. I was alone.

Fisk

Wesley, was that you?

Ben

Wesley?

Fisk

Yes, I didn't think so. You're a man of principle, of conviction. I understand that, I even admire it. But you went after my mother. That's not something that I can forgive.

Ben

I wrote a lot of stories in my years pushing ink. You know how many times people have threatened me get me to keep my mouth shut?

Fisk

[seething with rage] But this is my mother that you brought into this, Mr. Urich. My mother! So I am not here to threaten you. I'm here to KILL you! [Fisk stands up and grabs Urich by the neck. Urich struggles. Fisk throws him to the ground and chokes him to death with his bare hands]
