Brutus is suspicious. Cassius is conspiring. Caesar's days are numbered.
Loved by the people, Caesar's power is growing - which is dangerous if you live in a world driven by ego and idealism.
Those that rise too fast must be dealt with. For the good of the country. For the good of those who wish to be rulers themselves.
