Planetary travels to Hong Kong to investigate the ghost of a slain cop bent on vengeance.

In Hong Kong, a criminal has just taken the life of a woman. As he and some other man in his car drive they are confronted by what appears to be the ghost of a Hong Kong cop. The two speed up, apparently not seeing his spectral form, attempting to hit and kill him. They crash the car which leads to the death of one of the men, while the other is shot in the head and killed.

As the ghost cop disappears he is spotted by Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner and The Drummer. In the Hong Kong office of Planetary they are informed by a Planetary worker Michelle about the ghost cop. Jakita takes notice of Michelle as she never met anyone who has worked at Planetary longer than four years, and Michelle has worked over six. She tells them the ghost cop is seen as a type of fairy tale, a cop is betrayed and killed becomes the ghost of vengeance.

Later that night Michelle takes the three to the street. She tells a story of a cop named Shek Chi-Wai. Chi-Wai was a very good cop, taking down the whole structure of criminals. As Chi-Wai and his partner Mok were going to make an arrest, Chi-Wai was shot in the head execution style by a man named Tony, and his partner Mok went missing.

Then the Drummer senses some sort of information signal, he asks Jakita to stomp the ground which reveals a glowing crack in the street and a bright light revealing some sort of giant structure with what appears to be bodies in it. The Drummer says that it is like a big stack of hard drives holding information, but they hear a voice calling it God, and it is Chi-Wai. He says it is unimaginably huge with more than one hundred thousand angles. Drummer sees a connection to the multiverse. Chi-Wai says his partner killed him for no other reason then just not liking him. He also reveals that the man in the car, who was shot in the head was Tony. Chi-Wai says he was brought back for vengeance not just for him but everyone. Chi-Wai tells Planetary to tell his girlfriend to enjoy life as it is the best it gets. He also says there is nothing after death, or any punishment for the bad people of the world and that is why they must pay for their crimes in life. Soon Mok drives his car fast towards all of them, trying to hit them. Jakita uses her superhuman strength to stop him. Mok, still alive, is confronted by angry Chi-Wai who shoots Mok in the head killing him. Chi-Wai tells Planetary there is no mystery just just us as he fades away. Drummer thinks Chi-Wai said "Justice" but Snow corrects him and says Just us.
