Original subtitles

"Once, the Romanovs ruled all of Russia"

"For 300 years the dynasty reigned"

"from the first family to the last"

"When the revolution came so too the change"

"and the Romanov name was seen as a threat"

"But another name would rise..."

"The name of a young girl that would become legend"

"Though no one can say for sure what happened to her"

"many timeless tales suggest it's more than it seems"

"For where there lives hope..."

"There will always live dreams"

The festivities are beginning Anastasia

What are you doing all the way out here?

Something doesn't feel right Rasputin

Another ball another party

It's just the butterflies...

From all these guests

It's more than that

It's the people

I wish everyone could come all of Russia

One day, when you rule they will

I can see it

It's part of your...

Magic

And our plan is still in place for the ball?

It is

Now, let's go find your family

The ball's about to begin

Good evening Tsar Nicholas

- Wonderful night for a gathering - Yeah, thank you

Please, enjoy the party

Ah, Tsar Nicholas

- May I have a moment? - Of course

Thank you for always being there for her

Often I think you may be her only friend

It's just the age

I know it well

It was the age when your family found me

and brought a homeless boy in

Now, Your Majesty

I have been researching trade routes

on how we can improve the resources for the people

Always working, my friend

I have something for you

I cannot accept this

but you must

It is one of many advantages of being Tsar

You are now Grigori Rasputin Grand Protector of Russia

Thank you

Then as Grand Protector

I must advise you to entertain Lenin tonight

Just with a close eye

Prosperity brings peace and Lenin rises with the people

It'll be a gesture of goodwill

Lenin is opportunist and is not to be trusted

He'll go to unthinkable lengths to achieve his goals

I have already informed him that he is not allowed on this premises

Not on this night nor any other

Do not worry, Rasputin

We must always stand for what is right

no matter the times

In you, Russia trusts as do I

I seek your counsel

This choice is not easy

The correct choices never are

The heart of Russia grows cold Lenin

But a new Russia needs you if it is to rise

The people, your people they starve...

While their extravagances thrive

But what is needed I just cannot...

It is one family...

or an entire nation

The people look to you to lead

If the Tsar does not respect this you must show your strength...

and never look back

Once done...

It shall be done

Russia cannot continue under this rule of the Tsar

The people starve

our resources and power weaken by the day

Let me lead you to rise against Nicholas

and restore our impoverished nation back to prominence

For the people, I plead to you

The Tsar Nicholas has decreed that you shall not be allowed...

to be on the premises this evening

This is the final order...

The order of the Tsar

You see, elitism! Royalty!

They mock us as commoners

They mock the very essence of our country!

Mark my words when I say this this will be their great downfall

Their lavish balls their imperial costumes

their feast and arts...

I vow to end this dynasty from ruling our Russia

Once and for all!

Father, the ball has begun

Anya, you can't be here It's very dangerous

It's okay

We do it for her

We do it for the children of Russia

That's who we fight for the children of Russia

for new Russia

Are you with me comrades?

Then hold your vodka up high

For peace, land and power!

Miss, please don't let them start a conversation

Last time we spent the whole night

Just remember, you can always use a dance with me as an out

Oh, my hero

A conversation I will enjoy

A pleasure to see you again

As always, Russia is extremely appreciative

of the alliance between our two countries

As is China

We are honored by your invite

No doubt we will have many a moment to discuss our continued friendship

Still no princess, I see

Well, I look forward to the day

There are plenty here you know

Fighting I seem to have mastered

Dance partners on the other hand...

Well, I do trust your journey here was grand?

Grand, like all adventures are

My beautiful children

How did we get so lucky?

It is not luck

How do I look, Father?

Dashing, like the princes in your storybook

And just as brave!

Is it ready?

Of course

I made you a promise and I intend to keep it

But first what about him?

I made your father a promise that I'd find you a prince

Him?

Gross

Well, I tried

But now...

And this year we have a special guest!

We welcome the orphans

I have a feeling that was your daughter

As usual I believe you are correct

"At night when I'm dreaming"

"A magic might find me with a home and a family"

"and stardust behind me"

"A warm fire that glistens"

"A mother who listens"

"Food on the table"

"And bedtime with fables"

"Yes, I do believe"

"Someone out there loves me"

"They may be far away"

"But we'll find each other someday"

"For now, I'll let my dreams run free"

You did say you wanted another child

- May I have this dance? - Will you dance with me?

- Told you I'd be asked first! - We were asked at the same time!

You have got to be kidding me

Why, yes I would love to dance

Right...

Tsar Nicholas I must speak to you

I had a vision

It's Lenin

No, not on this night Rasputin

Lenin is at bay The guards are at the gates

Just enjoy the festivities my old friend, okay?

I'm here for my meeting with the Tsar!

Come! Hurry!

Come

Go Hurry!

Listen...

Stay, stay

Where is the Tsar?

No sign of the royal family

The guards have searched everywhere

There are places in the palace places unseen

But where?

There

Is it ready?

Lenin will soon know of our whereabouts

The link is nearly complete

We must move Rasputin, now!

It is ready

The children first

Are we going to be okay?

Always

Take this, it will bring you magic when you need it

Blue will tell you who to trust and red will tell you who to fear

And what will be of you?

I'll find you with this

Now go, Anastasia, go!

Go, Anastasia

Be strong

Papa, are you coming?

Alexei, you must be brave like in the storybooks

Now go

Papa...

- Papa! - Anastasia!

- You must go - No, Papa!

Seize him!

Tell me what you did with her

Never

So long as the blood of a Romanov lives

so, too, does the heart of Russia

So be it

"Read this song of days long gone"

"Darkened spirits take and roam"

"Souls untwine"

"Rise as mine"

"Time before and time after..."

"Time"

Now he is ours

Find her, the Grand Duchess Anastasia

You're going to have a great time at the party, I just know it

I've always wanted to go to California

Sir! That's really not appropriate

You need to leave

So...

- Annie, that's a pretty name - Thank you

It doesn't sound very Russian though

Is it Russian?

I knew immediately where you were from because of your accent

I am fascinated by Russian history

Catherine the Great Ivan the Terrible

The Romanovs...

Do you still have family there?

Yes

Well, it's a different world

Here you go, honey

Oh, my...

Well, I would love to meet your parents

Worms?

No, spaghetti

It's certainly more fun

I'm really glad you have a new friend

A friend

So I'm guessing Coke and spaghetti

are your favorite things now

Very much so

Oh, this is my favorite part

"I had the time of my life"

"No, I never..."

Come on

You leap, and I'll catch you

I've always wanted to do that

I got these...

Two birthdays ago

And I've never really had anyone to share them with

What is it?

They're friendship bracelets

You get half, and I get half

So we're never really apart

And when we really are together they're whole

Can I ask you something?

Anything

Who are you really?

You know, the bushes the day at the playground

The necklace that glows

You're different

I know it

Yes

I don't understand

How is that even possible?

When Lenin rose against us

Rasputin created a portal to a place where we would be safe

He sent me through with this amulet

For its glow would guide me to someone I could trust

But my family...

I was the only one who made it through

Well...

Do you know what happened to them?

No

Only what's in the book

It's okay

I'm glad you found me

even if you had to time travel to meet me

I'll always be here for you

Besides...

We're family now

Okay

I'll pick you up at ten but no later

And no walking home

We got it

"Now, first responders are already on the scene"

"they're cleaning everything up"

"Again, looks like first responders are doing an amazing job"

- "We're first on scene as always..." - Annie?

"WAFP"

Where are we going?

What are you doing with me?

I must take you back as he commands

Back?

The portal waits for one more visit

Through and back

Through and back?

With your return to Mother Russia

There'll be no remaining Romanov heirs

And he will do to you as he will do to your family

They are alive?

"Ah, yes"

"Once upon a time..."
