As Nicholas basks in glamourous parties and lavish benefits to his new job as personal physician to Amin he is blind to the actual horrors lying under Amin's impressive charisma. The drama ensuing in this second act provides the setup for the third and final act as well as revealing to the audience the "truth" behind every element of the film. Everything Nicholas saw as triumphant and glorious in being personal physician and political advisor to President Idi Amin turns to a nightmare when Amin's genocide and secret plot for mass slaughtering is revealed in the second act. This act lasts for forty-five to thirty minutes and is in sharp contrast to the pleasant images of act one. Nicholas realizes President Amin will not let him leave the country and his passport is destroyed along with all his personal documentation. Amin orders the Asian minorities of Uganda to be expelled and further atrocities arise. Nicholas in terror, discovers there is no end to Amin's brutality even to the point where Amin orders the mutilation and butchering of one of Amin's own wives, Kay. The second plot point arrives when Nicholas discovers his only hope of escape from this living hell is to assassinate Amin himself.
The final and third act involves Nicholas' decision to try to assassinate Amin via poison. Nicholas plots to give Amin "pills" for a headache but his plans are thwarted in the third plot point when Amin's bodyguards and friends catch on to Nicholas' lie. Nicholas is hung up to be tortured and killed but Dr. Junju, brings the final resolution. In return for saving Nicholas and therefore causing his own death by Amin's men for allowing Nicholas to escape, Dr. Junju asks Nicholas to tell the world the truth about Amin's regime and the genocides occurring in Uganda. This act lasts twenty-five to thirty minutes and results in the Nicholas leaving Uganda on a plane to tell the world what nightmares he has seen and bring help to a bleeding country.
