[union soldiers (stephen lang) carrying lincoln's body.] and now the time comes, [news: india independent. pakistan formed] when we shall we redeem our pledge. [godse assassinates mahatma gandhi] not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.
[police in action] at the stroke of the midnight hour, [communal riots in india] when the world sleeps, india will awake to life and freedom.
