For Connected, Chan wanted to improve on the previous film by making the characters and the situations in his remake seem more believable.

The kidnappers, led by Fok Tak-nang, return to Grace's house, where they kill her maid, and start searching the place.

Grace is interrupted from the call when Fok and his men enter the room, having abducted her brother's friend, Joe.

After listening to Roy's answering machine, Fok kills Joe and leaves with his men, now planning to go after Grace's daughter, Tinker.

After Bob is caught on camera at both the school and the phone store, Fai heads to Grace Wong's residence.

Fai heads to Grace's house, where he confronts and kills Michelle, realizing she was also an Interpol agent working for Fok.

The footage, captured by Roy, reveals Fok brutally executing several American drug dealers and stealing their contraband, exposing them all as dirty cops.

Bob calls Fok, and tells them to meet him at the airport in an exchange for the evidence and the hostages, while attempting to keep his promise to his son.

When Bob returns, Fai talks to him, feeling the glory he once had as a police officer, and wishing that they never meet again after their ordeal.

Other players include Ken Hung as Joe, Roy's classmate, who is murdered by Fok; Vincent Kok as a man whose convertible is taken by Bob; Mainland Chinese actress Gong Beibi cameos as Jen, Fai's wife; German-born Asian actress Ankie Beilke plays Michelle, an Interpol agent pretending to be Grace Wong as a cover-up for the kidnapping; Wong Cho-lam appears as a salesman; Raymond Wong Ho-yin cameos as a leader of a special force senior officer who shoots Interpol agent to save Grace Wong and her families; child actress Chan Sze-wai plays Tinker Wong, Grace's daughter; child actor Presley Tam, who appeared as a school bus child in Benny Chan's Invisible Target plays Kit-kit, Bob's son; and American actors Robbin Harris, David Rock, and Daniel Whyte appear as Interpol agents working for Inspector Fok.
