My Country: The New Age (My Nation / Naui Nara / 나의 나라)

THIS DRAMA IS A FICTIONAL STORY BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS

SOME ORGANIZATIONS AND CHARACTERS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Where's the secret letter?

Where is it?

Twelve years ago in 1380.

Is it true that you

made a pact to assassinate General Yi?

If it is, it will destroy this family.

He's involved.

Verify it instead of just speculating.

EPISODE 8

My lord.

Find Hwi and bring him to me.

If you fail to find him until sunrise,

I will

slay you first.

There are only two people who can hit the target

over 400 steps away from it.

One of them is His Majesty,

and the other one is you.

Are you the one who hit His Majesty's target

with an arrow?

Please calm down.

"Hide your anger and hold it in."

It is what you told me in the past.

I asked you if you did it!

Yes, I shot the arrow.

However, the order

came from Bang-won.

Bang-won?

He ordered me to tie a letter to the second arrow

and told me what to shoot with it.

Even a single lie will not be tolerated.

Yeon is with you, so I'd never lie to you or do anything foolish.

I will report everything Bang-won does to you,

so please do not doubt me.

I will obtain the information I need through someone else.

You will only be used

as a sword.

This might destroy my family.

I will stop it at all costs

and slay the mastermind behind it all.

I truly hope that you aren't the one who plotted all of this.

There was a young woman at Hwi's house,

and that woman

met with Nam Seon-ho?

They went to Nam Jeon's residence together.

It is out of my hands now.

It went to someone who needs it more than you do.

Your goal is revenge,

but that person is trying to save a life,

so he needs it more desperately.

Was it Hwi who received

my mother's letter?

I asked you if it went to Hwi.

Such a matter is always kept confidential, and the recipient shall never disclose it.

Have you forgotten our rule?

The person that he is desperately trying to save.

Was it Yeon?

I cannot answer that question.

Take Gyeol with you.

You may kill anyone who tries to harm Hui-jae, regardless of their ranks.

I will obey your orders, ma'am.

Protect those you need to protect.

Meanwhile, I will protect you.

Whether you can survive or not is up to you,

just like when I was deserted in Liaodong.

It must be nice to have

a father high up.

However, the order came from Bang-won.

It is my fault.

My hesitation is to blame.

I let myself be bogged down by friendship and family.

That is why this happened.

I won't hesitate any longer.

No more.

TAVERN

Jeez, you eat like a horse.

Look at you stuffing your faces.

Why are you holding a scythe in the middle of the night?

Are you a praying mantis?

I'm going to chop your heads off with this.

Hey, stop running your mouth.

Go chop some horse fodder, you stupid mantis.

That's a perfect tool for it.

Where is Hwi?

Why do you ask?

His Highness wants us to track him down.

Do you know this saying?

"The silent shall be made to talk by getting their mouths ripped open"!

Hey, hurry!

Catch them!

Did Bang-won break the deal?

-We'll see. -This is so frustrating.

Can't we just send the secret letter to the Office of the Inspector General?

Nam Jeon has full control over them, the Privy Council, and the royal guards.

He'll snatch the letter.

Goodness gracious.

Even hares should be caught one by one.

How are we going to take down Nam Jeon and Bang-won at once?

Hwi.

What brings you here?

Are you all right?

The Prince is trying to track you down at all costs.

We barely managed to escape.

I used the King to put pressure on Nam Jeon

and had him doubt Bang-won.

Him looking for me is part of my plan.

What will you do now?

The secret letter can only be put to use through Bang-won.

I will make him use it no matter what.

That is the only way we can take down Nam Jeon

and save Yeon.

The moment he finds out that you're a spy, everything will be over

for you

as well as for us.

How may I help you?

I am here to see Inspector Nam.

I will wait here.

Sure.

Is anyone

inside?

Who are you?

Why are you lurking around my chamber at this late hour?

I'm...

Do you...

know me?

I must have come to the wrong place.

I'll be off, then.

It doesn't seem to be the case.

If you know me,

please tell me anything you know.

Help me, please.

You two have never met before.

She is here to see me.

It was the best solution.

No, you're just giving an excuse.

Had you truly done your best,

Yeon would have been by Hwi's side the whole time.

Then my father would have killed them both.

This was the only way

to keep Yeon safe.

You are holding her hostage, not keeping her safe.

You are holding her hostage to control Hwi.

Now, I understand

why Hwi tried to hide everything from me

and why he seemed so desperate.

Are you sneaking out again?

My lord.

I clearly told you that you need my permission to do anything.

I suppose you look down on me.

Where did you go when you snuck out?

Who did you meet?

Don't tell anyone you came here. Especially not Nam Jeon.

Got it?

Why are you shaking?

Are you having a seizure again?

Or...

have you regained your lost memories?

Let her go.

You are such a fool.

Let's go inside.

Yeon.

I must

meet Hwi now.

I don't care where he is.

I must see him now.

You said that punk, Ganggae, witnessed the secret letter, right?

Right, so we must not kill him.

We will take him to Bang-won in one piece along with the letter.

Nam Jeon will also look for him

now that he knows about the letter.

You didn't find the letter?

No, my lord.

What about the girl?

I killed her to silence her for good.

Get ten men who are not likely to cause any trouble.

What should I do with them?

Find a man named Ganggae who used to be a palace guard.

There is something I must hear from him even if I have to rip his mouth open.

Hey.

You look like a mutt that just saw a kennelman. Why do you look so scared?

You heard it too. Bang-won wants us killed.

Don't you worry.

I'm sure we can find a way to survive.

Listen.

Back in 1380...

Must you bring it up again?

What if someone hears it?

I told you we'll be screwed!

I absolutely won't die alone.

Trust me. Nam Jeon can't kill me.

I saw everything

that happened.

It's a raid!

Jeez, those sons of bitches.

Kill them!

Why are you doing this to me?

What will you get for killing me?

Pipe down.
