And just as Antony had foretold...
:30:21
... the forces of Octavian
came to meet them...

:30:24
... on the spot where they landed.
:30:26
Which was at Actium, in Greece.
:30:31
Action begins
with the rise of the sun.

:30:33
Your plan is brave and simple.
It's possible on land...

:30:36
...but we debate
its wisdom on the sea.

:30:39
I have an enemy on land with fewer
troops, on sea with fewer ships.

:30:43
Let him debate the wisdom
of his position.

:30:45
I have a happy choice. To destroy him
wet or dry. I have chosen wet.

:30:52
I think it best, Euphranor, you report
to Cleopatra aboard her vessel.

:30:57
There you may point out to her...
:30:59
...the reasons why my brave simplicity
has failed.

:31:03
In any case, you are relieved
of your battle command.

:31:17
This final commitment of yourself,
your ships, of all of us...

:31:21
...to fight at sea,
when did you decide?

:31:25
- Forgive me. I had...
- We've worked hard for many months.

:31:28
We've trained an army
of 200,000 men from 20 countries.

:31:32
- They won't be wasted...
- Of which 20,000 of them...

:31:36
...will be herded onto those ships and
dragged out to sea, puking and afraid.

:31:40
- Why, my lord? Why?
- Because I have decided it will be so!

:31:45
I consider it an honor...
:31:46
...to fight beside Lord Antony
at any time, anywhere.

:31:51
Spoken like a Roman, Ramos.
:31:55
And you shall fight at my side,
in Rufio's place.

:31:59
Rufio, you will remain with
Her Majesty aboard her vessel.
