Forest Whitaker, Monday Night Conversation, "Street Kings"
For acclaimed novelist James Ellroy, the sunny exterior of Los Angeles will never shed enough light to illuminate the darkest parts of itself. In the City of Angels, moral codes designed to govern are difficult to uphold-especially by those determined to harm and protect us.With STREET KINGS, David Ayer, one of LA's native sons, wields his camera onto the streets that are not found on picture postcards but on a city of contradictions and often-tragic consequences.Keanu Reeves stars as Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.Academy Award® Winner Forest Whitaker plays Captain Jack Wander, Ludlow's mentor and superior. The stellar cast also features Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Jay Mohr, John Corbett, Cedric the Entertainer, Amaury Nolasco, Terry Crews, Naomie Harris, Martha Higareda, Common and The Game. FOREST WHITAKER (Captain Jack Wander)Forest Whitaker had an exceptional year in 2007. He amazed audiences with his portrayal of Idi Amin in THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, for which he earned an Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, SAG Award™ and BAFTA Award, all in the leading actor category, and critics awards across the board. On the small screen, Whitaker earned an Emmy® nomination for his role on last season's "ER." This year, Whitaker has appeared in the already released THE AIR I BREATHE and VANTAGE POINT and has wrapped filming on WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, WINGED CREATURES, POWDER BLUE and REPOSESSION MAMBO. Forest's other credits include, AMERICAN GUN, which received an Independent Spirit Award nomination, Clint Eastwood's BIRD, for which he was named Best Actor at The Cannes Film Festival as well as a Golden Globe Nomination, THE CRYING GAME, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI, FOURTH ANGEL, PANIC ROOM and PHONE BOOTH, among many others. Whitaker has also made his mark behind the camera, beginning with his first directing endeavor of WAITING TO EXHALE. Since then, he has worked as the executive producer of GREEN DRAGON, producer of CHASING PAPI, director of FIRST DAUGHTER and HOPE FLOATS. Whitaker lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.

Nicholas goes to see Amin who is watching porn with his goons. He gloomily tells Nicholas that he did it to make an example out of Kay. Outside he is stopped by the guards and brought back inside where Amin is gleeful and jovial and teases Nicholas for "running away from me". He tells Nicholas that Palestinian terrorists have hijacked an Israel plane and he has allowed them to land in Uganda. Amin feels this is an show the world what a great leader he is.

Nicholas rushes to the hospital only to hear creepy wailings. Following the noise he finds series of crying people in the hallway, some appear to have gone insane. Going down to the basement he finds hordes of distressed people and goon#1 telling them this is what happens to those who betray Amin. Entering the morgue he finds Kay's dismembered body. Her legs have been sewn on in place of her arms and her arms sewn on in place of her legs.. Her son is in the same room.
