conscience

My close friend did some bad things.
Can I say

#1. "You need some conscience"
#2. "Why dod't you have some conscience"
#3. "You don't have conscience."

?

Would these be natural to say?

Thank you as always.

#3 would be the most natural, in my opinion. " If they continued to do bad things, and you concluded that they were acting so horrendously poor that you were disgusted and didn't want to interact with them anymore, you could definitively state, You don't have a conscience. At this point, they are so bad that you are most likely finished with them as a friend.

Typically, if a friend did something surprisingly bad, you would react with the rhetorical question, "Don't you have a conscience?"

Thank you so much.

I just made up situation to see how to use "conscience".

If someone did something bad or good, would native speakers use "conscience" a lot?

Such as " He has no conscience" or " He has a conscience."
