Scandal Episode 8

A shocked Woo Ah Mi, still in her wedding dress, asks to see Gong Gi Chan. They've already taken his body away so all that's left for her to see is the chalk outline of his body and a big puddle of blood. Ha Eun Joong, not one for sensitivity, starts asking her questions. Ah Mi does manage to mention the text she received supposedly from Gi Chan saying he was sorry. Eun Joong's partner (does this guy have a name) easily writes this off as a tragic suicide.
 
A dazed Ah Mi tries to take the service elevator up to the floor where Gi Chan fell/jumped from. Eun Joong sees what she's wanting and wordlessly operates the elevator for her. Ah Mi refuses to believe this could be suicide and Gi Chan knew this construction site like the back of his hand so it couldn't have been an accident. The only option left is murder. Eun Joong asks for the names of any close co-workers and Ah Mi thinks of only one name: Ha Myeong Geun.
 
Kang Joo Pil thinks he's breaking the news to Jang Tae Ha about Gi Chan being dead. Tae Ha is like, "Oh my goodness, how horrible!" He asks Fake Eun Joong to represent the company at the man's funeral, and to keep the family quiet if they start to make a fuss.
 
While Real Eun Joong's partner (what is his name?!) and other cops are searching the couple's apartment, the suitcase of money (planted by Kang Ho) is found.
 
Ah Mi has to go to the morgue to identify her fiancé's body.
 
Fake Eun Joong returns to the office to learn his mother is in a private meeting. Hwa Young is talking to a private detective about finding the Real Eun Joong. When the detective is leaving, nosey Fake Eun Joong introduces himself and tries to fish for answers.
 
Real Eun Joong asks Myeong Geun to come down to the station to answer some questions since Dad #1 knew the victim. Eun Joong actually shows he has a brain when, going through Gi Chan's personal effects, he finds the large bills that were Tae Ha's wedding present. Eun Joong wonders why these bills were stuffed into Gi Chan's pocket instead of being put in his wallet. The detective figures Gi Chan may have received the money right before he died and orders the bills checked for fingerprints.
 
Nameless Partner brings the suitcase of money to the station. He thinks he's got it all figured out. Gi Chan was taking bribes from subcontractors, was about to get caught and so threw himself off the building.
 
My beloved ahjumma <3 <3 <3 has a name: Mrs. Ansung. I miss you, ahjumma. You need more scenes. Anyway, Tae Ha is watching the news. Remember that Jo Chi Gook guy from a couple of episodes ago? Well now he's a minister in the government. Meanwhile Go Joo Ran hasn't been getting any from Tae Ha and she wants some now! Tae Ha's like, "Ewww."
 
Thank goodness: another Eun Joong workout scene. He thinks back to when he was a child and worked so hard to try and draw penguins.
 
Joo Pil comes down to the police station to testify that Gi Chan was being investigated by Taeha Construction for embezzlement and was about to be fired. Just as Joo Pil is leaving is when Myeong Geun is arriving. In front of Real Eun Joong, Joo Pil boisterously greets "Detective Ha" and asks where Myeong Geun has been all these years. Dad #1 quickly hustles Joo Pil outside.
 
The two men go to have a drink together. Joo Pil brags about being so high up the ladder at Taeha Construction. For some reason Myeong Geun discloses that he's working as a foreman at the new Taeha Construction project.
 
Ah Mi still insists the text message she received wasn't from Gi Chan. The message called her 'honey,' something Gi Chan never called her in life. She demands an autopsy.
 
Joo Pil reports to his boss how Ah Mi wants an autopsy. Tae Ha pulls some strings and gets the autopsy request rejected. Joo Pil also starts to tell about running into Myeong Geun but Tae Ha gets all assholey so Joo Pil decides to keep this little tidbit to himself.
 
Ha Soo Young puts on her shortest, tightest skirt for her first day at work at the Cheonha Law Firm.
 
Jang Joo Ha gets to box with a man. It should be no surprise she gets her butt kicked. She gets knocked so hard she starts speaking Engrish. When her opponent removes his protective gear, Joo Ha recognizes him as Jo Jin Woong, played by Park Jung Chul. Just who is Jo Jin Woong? I have no idea but Joo Ha does. Perhaps he was a professional boxer who has fallen on hard times. Whoever he is I do know he's probably Joo Ha's future love interest.
 
Tae Ha's been all over the tv lately as he's donating a huge amount of money to charities and going on about humanitarian work. Myeong Geun is watching and getting that crazy look in his eyes again. At the police station Real Eun Joong gets the results back on the fingerprints found on the large bills in Gi Chan's possession. (They're really checks but I've been calling them bills so I'm going to stick with bills.) Anyway, Jang Tae Ha's fingerprints were found on the paper.
 
Myeong Geun has gone down to Taeha Construction headquarters to confront his nemesis. Tae Ha is coming out of the elevator. Myeong Geun starts to step forward and make himself known when instead it is his not-son, Real Eun Joong, who gets to Tae Ha first. Eun Joong tells Tae Ha about his fingerprints being found on the money in Gi Chan's pocket.
