Joe was just looking out the window hoping for Frank's safe return when he noticed somebody looking out the window with him. "Dad?" he asked, surprised. "I thought you were away on a case."

"I came back when I heard your brother was missing. What happened?"

"I don't know. Suddenly, I mean, ya'know, he was grabbed really fast and slammed into a car! I don't even know why he was grabbed, Dad, honest!"

Frank felt someone tie his hands behind his back. He was shoved roughly into the wall. "We need your help, and if you won't do it for us now we'll simply grab someone you love, what do you think of that, huh?" the man smirked when Frank's response was silent. "Well, if that's that, then I guess we'll just grab your brother."

"No!" Frank said. "Stop, don't hurt him! I'll do it!"

The man smiled. "Good. You begin tommorow. Get some rest."

Alright, the first one was a bit too easy for some people, now this one should be harder.
Here it goes..... Guess what am i talking about, and where is it.

It starts with an Eye that begins with M. It's called a Bat, but replace that Bee with what you See.

I felt it get hot, and burning my skin. But i gotta go Pee before I start the Torch.

What am i talking about, and where is it?

My first begins first
And I am myself my second
My next is the end of ends
Followed by the beginning of hope.
Now put me on a line,
And you will find my name,
I live my whole life out of doors,
But never feel the rain.

--
tell me the answer and how you got it please...

I heard this question in the car on the radio, but unfortunately didn't get to hear the answer. Since then it has been really bugging me. Have checked my Atlas and can still only come up with "Chile"

I need to rewrite this to make it flow better and sumarize just a little bit. Can you summarize it the best????

I am now the director of the new version of HAMLET and I have the most stunning new vision of the most revered of Shakespeare’s plays. I will effectively transpose many of the enduring themes of that classic work to our contemporary hi-tech era. Even if you are not very familiar with Shakespeare's plays or have always been confounded by his verse, one can still appreciate this film.

Hamlet proves to be far more than a mere spectacle for the senses. In fact, this is the serious flaw that plagues most of the films coming from young, talented independent filmmakers these days: all style, no substance.

Well, this Hamlet has both. By setting the film deep in the heart of a very real and very modern steel and concrete American jungle like New York City, which is infused with the relics of the mass media and cold capitalistic consumerism.
