He has a galley waiting at the coast.
Provision enough for Egypt, they say.

:07:05
Egypt. Possibly.
They owe him a great deal.

:07:10
He'll ask for sanctuary.
Borrow money, borrow time.

:07:14
I thought it was over.
It seems it's not.

:07:18
Rufio, consult the augurers.
I want to know.

:07:21
In Egypt, will Pompey face me at last?
:07:26
But surely Caesar will now
return to Rome!

:07:28
I must go to Egypt in any case.
:07:30
IKing Ptolemy and his sister
have a civil war of their own...

:07:33
...intent on destroying each other,
and in the process, Rome's wheat.

:07:38
That cannot be so urgent.
:07:40
Let the Romans welcome
great Caesar properly at last...

:07:43
...in this greatest of his triumphs.
:07:45
Triumph? Over what?
:07:49
Over whom?
:07:52
- Canidius.
- Caesar?

:07:54
Leave me the 10th and 12th.
Antony's to take the rest to Rome.

:07:57
- When can he start?
- Whenever you say.

:08:00
Then at once.
:08:03
And in Rome,
Marc Antony is to speak for Caesar.

:08:07
His authority is not to be questioned.
:08:09
His word will be yours.
:08:10
As always, Caesar's word is law.
:08:12
Of course.
:08:14
But remind him to keep his legions
intact. They make the law legal.

:08:18
Caesar.
:08:30
And even as Caesar's galleys
sailed the great sea to Egypt...

:08:34
... it was happening that,
just as the Romans...

:08:37
... so the Egyptians made war,
one upon the other...

:08:41
... for King Ptolemy would no longer
share the throne...

:08:44
... with his sister Cleopatra...
:08:46
... but drove her
from the city of Alexandria...

:08:49
... and sought to destroy her.
