In this section, Cassius send Titinius to intercept a group of soldiers to see wether they are friends or enemies. Cassius also send Pindarus to a higher hill in order to see what happens. Pindarus mistakenly thinks that Titinius is captured and reports this to Cassius, who in turn orders Pindarus to kill him (Cassius). Titinius comes back with Messala and, upon seeing Cassiuses dead body, sends Messala to tell Brutus. Once Messala leaves, Titinius impales himself with Cassius's sword.
