[female voice] 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?
Ah. It is.
Now, let's go find your family.
The ball's about to begin.
[bells tolling]
Good evening, Tsar Nicholas.
Wonderful night for a gathering.
Yeah. Thank you. Please, enjoy the party.
-Hm. -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.
Hm. It's just the age.
I know it well.
It was the age when your family found me
and brought a homeless boy in.
Ah...
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.
Hm.
Oh, I cannot accept this.
Ah. But you must.
It is one of many advantages of being Tsar.
You are now Grigori Rasputin,
Grand Protector of Russia.
-Thank you. -Hm.
[Rasputin] 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,
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.
[knock on door]
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.
[indistinct chatter]
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!
[all shout]
[upbeat classical music playing]
[Tsar] Ugh! Please don't let them start a conversation.
Last time, I spent my whole night here.
Just remember, you can always use a dance with me as an out.
Oh, my hero.
Ah, 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...
[laughing]
Well, I do trust your journey here was grand?
Grand, like all adventures are.
My beautiful children.
-How did we get so lucky? -[Tsar chuckles]
-It is not luck. -[laughs]
How do I look, Father?
Ah... 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.
[crowd gasping]
I have a feeling that was your daughter.
As usual, I believe you are correct.

[chuckles]
[upbeat classical music playing]
[boy 1] May I have this dance?
[boy 2] 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... three, two, three...
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?
[crowd gasping]
I'm here for my meeting with the Tsar!
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd gasping]
Come! Hurry!
Come.
Go. Hurry!
Listen... stay, stay.
[chanting]
Where is the Tsar?!
No sign of the royal family.
The guards have searched everywhere.
There are places in this palace,
places unseen.
But where?
There.
Is it ready?
Lenin will soon know of our whereabouts.
[Rasputin] The link is nearly complete.
We must move, Rasputin, now!
[Rasputin] 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!
-[Rasputin] You must go! -No, Papa!
[Anastasia sobs]
[Lenin] 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.

You're going to have a great time at the party,
I just know it.
Sure thing, Mom.
Beatrice invited you herself, you know.
Yeah. She invited me because you're her mom's boss.
We've talked about that, Megan.
-It's not a-- [gasps] -[tires screech]
[turn signal clicking]
I swear...
so many deer this time of year.
Yeah...
deer.
-Okay. -Thanks, Mom.
-Of course. -Still could've walked.
-But thanks anyway. -Call me if you need anything, okay?
You got it.
I love you.
-Love you too. -Bye. Have fun.
[upbeat dance music playing]
[inaudible]
Megan!
Happy birthday, Beatrice.
Thank you so much. I'm super glad you made it.
Me too.
You know, I've just been adding gifts to the table,
but since you're right here,
I'll just go ahead and open yours.
Oh, no, you don't have to do that.
-Just put it on the table. -I insist.
It is my birthday, after all.
Right. Anything for your birthday, Beatrice.
I love it! It's perfect.
Thank you for coming.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks for, like, inviting me.
Megan! I'm so glad you could make it.
Thanks for coming. Let's get your skates.
-[Megan] Thank you. -[Beatrice's mom] Okay.
Here, let me take that. I'll put it with the others.
-Oh, thanks. -You're very welcome,
and please tell your mother I said hello.
Will do.
Size five, please.
Size five.
[laughing]
[Beatrice] Seriously?
What is this?
I told my mom not to make me invite her.
Come on, let's get to the good gifts.
[laughing]
No good book should ever go to waste.
[bell jingles]
Wasn't a hit, huh?
Yeah, well, Beatrice is kind of an idiot, so...
Someone smart should enjoy it.
Wait...
I can't let a fellow booklover
leave empty-handed.
Store policy.
Pick out any book you'd like.
It's on the house tonight.
-Any book? -Any.
Thanks.
[bell jingles]
[pop music playing on headphones]
[dog barking]
-[laughing] -[music playing on TV]
The Bride of Frankenstein.
[music on TV]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
You're home early.
Yeah, you were supposed to call. What happened?
Party ended early.
I had a great time though.
[yawns] Really tired.
I think I'm gonna head to bed.
Okay. Hope you had fun.
Huh?
[sighs]
[knocking]
You sure everything's okay?
Yeah, Mom. I promise.
The party was great. Trust me.
Okay. I just wanted to check in.
Thanks, Mom.
You bet.
"The History of the Romanovs."
[dog barking]
[barking continues]
[flashlight clicks]
[dogs barking]
[flashlight clicks]
I know you're there. Come out.
I knew it was you...
the girl from the road.
Why are you following me?
And why are you dressed like that?
It's okay.
It's actually a cool dress.
It's just, you know, different.
You're safe here.
I won't tell anyone if you ran away.
I've thought about doing it too.
The whole "no friends, weird parents" thing.
Totally get it.
If you need a roof,
you can stay there for the night.
The Millers are trying to sell it,
so it's empty.
Well... come on.
[wood creaks]
Here, hold this.
It's just a flashlight.
You know, to help you see in the dark.
A flashlight?
[Megan] Wow. Where again did you run away from?
[lamp clicks]
[Megan sighs]
I come here sometimes just to get away.
Just make sure you keep the lights low.
It draws attention.
It's a lot more comfortable than it looks.
[female voice] Megan, why'd you run off?
Gotta go.
I'll check on you in the morning, okay?
What's your name, anyhow?
Annie.
Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you, Annie. I'm Megan.
[flashlight clicks]
-[alarm beeping] -[Megan] Okay, okay.
-I'm up. [sighs] -[alarm clicks, stops]
[wood creaks]
Did-- Did you do this?
Yes. You don't like?
Like?
I love.
This definitely brings value to the neighborhood.
But... the Millers are gonna be really mad
if they drive by and see it...
with us.
So...
Why don't we get out of here?
But after I change.
[Megan sighs]
Welcome to my room.
I have to change, but it'll only be a sec.
It's a perk of being 12.
Make yourself at home though.
[clattering]
[pop music blaring]
-[music stops] -[Megan] Everything okay out there?
I know you're new here and stuff,
but if you're planning on sticking around,
there's this really cool Halloween party
that everyone goes to.
[Megan] Ready to roll?
[loud music and chatter]
"Madison."
[chuckles]
What?
You act like you've never been to a playground before.
A playground?
Yeah. A playground.
You know, grounds where you play?
The swings are my favorite.
They always make me feel like I'm flying.
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
It's safe.
It's just old.
I come here all the time.
I don't understand.
It's all in the feet.
And, well, remembering to hold on.
You got it.
Okay, the higher you are, the more fun it is.
Okay, so at the highest point, we fly.
Ready?
One...
two...
three!
[both chuckle]
[Anastasia] I like playgrounds.
Yeah, they're pretty great.
[girls giggling]
Um, who are you?
And isn't Halloween next weekend?
Come on, Beatrice, leave her alone.
[inaudible]
Must have got it from the same place you got that stupid book.
Yeah, go back to your hole, Megan.
Let's get outta here.
How-- How did you do that?
Russian trick.
Well, whatever it was, it awesome!
Awe-some.
What is this awesome?
It means...
well... How 'bout I just show you?
Besides,
we've really gotta do something about that dress.
Where to?
Mall-leh?
-What? -Mall-leh-leh?
Oh, the mall? The mall. Choose your words, pal.
Ain't but a few miles away.
And this baby's got plenty of horsepower.
Where are the horses?
Come on in.
You look like a weird, old, creepy man.
Now, honey, you know I said not to talk to strangers, okay?
[sneezes]
[whoosh]
[dramatic music on TV]
[zapping, crashing]
It's just a movie on a TV.
You know, Back to the Future.
Uh, a TV?
Yeah, like the one at the Miller's house.
Except this one is on... and really loud.
It works by...
Actually, I don't know how it works.
But it's really cool.
Come on. We've got a Bliss album to listen to.
-[button clicks] -[pop music playing]
Why are you listening to Bliss on that right now?
She's giving a surprise free concert in the mall right now.
Come on, come on. Follow me.

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.

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.

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.

And the children are running around screaming.
We have no idea what exactly has gone on.
Uh, we can tell by the way that the cars are all being pushed...
[sirens blaring]
[man on TV] Something amazingly huge has happened here.
Ten minutes ago, here at the park,
there was a horrific accident.
Now, first responders are already on the scene,
they're cleaning everything up.
-Seriously? -This was on the intersection
of Fourth and Magnolia.
We are asking people to take alternate routes home
just to make sure that there's no backups.
Again, looks like first responders are doing an amazing job.
-We're first on the scene, as always... -[Megan] 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're alive?
Rasputin, it isn't you.
You don't have to do this.
To Mother Russia we return.

How did...?

[sobs] Always stand for what is right,
no matter the times.
[singing continues]
We must always stand for what is right,
no matter the times.
[singing fades]
My Anastasia.
[sobs]
I'm so sorry.
Yes!
I'm back.
Is it ready?
Lenin will soon know of our whereabouts.
[Rasputin] The link is nearly complete.
We must move, Rasputin, now!
[Rasputin] It is ready.
The children first.
-Come to me. Come. -[Anastasia] No, Papa!
We must go through the portal before it is too late.
[gunshot]
[panting] Ana, Ana.
The amulet.
[Tsar panting]
Let's go. Go. Come on.
Are you coming?
I cannot.
If I come, he will never stop looking for you.
[Rasputin] Here, I can protect you.
And Russia.
My faithful friend...
[sobbing]
Time is of the essence,
but when time catches up, find her.
[knock on door]
Hey, kiddo. If you're not too busy,
could you run this gift over to the new neighbors?
But they just moved in.
We know.
But 'tis the season.
And we'd like to start off on a good foot.
One without any mysterious animal bushes.
Fine.
Right.
It's fixed.
[giggling]
[doorbell rings]
[door opens]
[boy] You must be here for Grandmother.
Hello...
old friend.
Annie?
But that would mean...
That I'm every bit of 83 years old.
But how?
Come, I will tell you all about it.
How do these stories go?
Ah, yes.
Once upon a time...
