Seeking to learn Muay Thai, Ryu and Ken travel to Thailand following their conflict with Ashura's forces. At Bangkok airport, they split to process entry approvals. Donu, a thug from Episode 7 who escaped after failing to kill Dorai, disguises himself and plants heroin in Ryu's bag for revenge. Unaware of the setup, Ryu is arrested upon reaching an escalator and imprisoned. Inside, he suffers brutal torture from Warden Nuchi and harassment from inmates. Ryu retaliates against two taunting prisoners throughout the episode. Subsequently, Sagat, feared by those inmates, prepares to fight Ryu. Akuma briefly appears at the airport while waiting for his luggage.
