When this madness is over.

Just you and I.

I would love that.

I love you.

I love you too.

- What's happening? - It's alright.

There's a fight for the city.

We need to move you all, for your own safety.

Let the children know.

We need them dressed and ready as soon as possible.

On the night that they're woken up, the first thing they do is to pull on their diamond-encrusted underwear.

Quickly, girls.

Where are they taking us? Crimea? Who knows? The important thing is, we're finally moving on.

Hurry, girls.

The fact that they're wearing their bejeweled vests shows that for the children at least, they had a great hope that somehow they would survive this.

It was unthinkable that anything would happen to the children.

Ready? Okay, please.

My men will take these.

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

Do everything they tell you to.

We don't want to be split up again.

- I thought we were heading - Wait here until your transport is ready.

They're brought into the cellar.

They're confused.

It's the middle of the night.

Could I have some chairs for my son and wife, please? Of course.

You have been drinking.

Start the lorries.

That's our transport.

For a second, it looks a bit like a family photograph's about to be taken.

They're gathered around the two seated at the front.

But in fact, things are getting darker and darker in the "House of Special Purpose".

Nikolai Alexandrovich, Alexandra Feodorovna, Alexei Nikolayevich, Olga Nikolaevna, Maria Nikolaevna, Tatiana Nikolaevna, Anastasia Nikolaevna.

The Ural Regional Soviet Committee has sentenced you to death.

But I don't understand.

You have been sentenced to death.

Finish it! Shoot! Fucking shoot! One of the most tragic aspects of the murder of the Russian imperial family is that because they were wearing so many jewels sewn into their clothes it was harder to kill them.

They were essentially wearing the world's most expensive bulletproof vests.

Stop firing.

In all of history, it's hard to imagine an act that was so utterly barbarous than the messy slaughter of the imperial family.

I don't know how to break this to them.

The Von Kleists told me, a few months ago, they and Anna had dinner with a Russian army officer who was based at the Alexander Palace.

He told her about the nickname "Pixie.

" Then there is this.

She's been practicing for months.

She's an imposter.

She's still my patient.

And she's in a very fragile condition.

I think it's best you don't tell her about your discovery.

Wait here.

Excuse me.

I think it's best for you to come outside.

I have inside here, page upon page upon page of her attempting to practice the signature of Anastasia.

The resemblance is not there.

Our instincts were right.

There is irrefutable evidence inside here that she is not the Are you leaving me? We'll write to you, I promise.

I'm so glad we met.

No, don't go.

Please.

Please.

Please.

We're not leaving you.

We will see each other again.

Goodbye Anastasia.

It had been too much to ask for.

Nobody could have escaped that massacre.

The real Anastasia was almost certainly resting somewhere with her family.

That was my only consolation.

At the same time as the imperial family is killed in "The House of Special Purpose," The Bolsheviks try to eliminate all of the Romanovs under their control.

They execute a total of 18 members of the imperial family.

They throw Alex's sister, Ella, down a mine shaft, and then they throw grenades on top of her.

She was heard singing hymns from down the mine before everything went quiet.

But many of the Romanovs did get out.

Minny, the last Czar's mother Nikolasha, his supreme commander And "The Black Crows.

" Their last great act is their escape, from the Crimea, aboard a British battleship, HMS Marlborough, as the Bolsheviks are pouring into the Crimea.

Also on board is Prince Felix Yusupov, the man that masterminded the assassination of Rasputin.

About a week after the imperial family is killed the anti-Bolshevik powers take Ekaterinburg.

They try to figure out what happened to the royal family.

Pierre Gilliard travels to Ekaterinburg.

He sees "The House of Special Purpose" for himself.

He sees the cellar riddled with bullets.

Shoot! And tries to help find the bodies of the slaughtered royal family.

In the Koptyaki woods near Ekaterinburg the investigation finds remnants of bones, but only fragments.

They do not find bodies that would prove the deaths of all of the members of the imperial family.

As the Red Army nears victory in the civil war the anti-Bolshevik forces have to flee Ekaterinburg and they cannot finish the investigation.

The Bolsheviks announce the execution of Nicholas II, but they do not say anything about the fate of the family.

They understood it would be a public relations disaster to admit the innocent children had all been massacred.

And so they deliberately spread mystery over the story.

About the same time as the Soviet Unionis formed, rumors that one of the Grand Duchesses has escaped start circulating.

One of the claimants is a young woman, later to be known as Anna Anderson, and she appears in Berlin.

Anastasia's Auntie Olga and Pierre Gilliard conclude that Anna Anderson is a fraud.

Goodbye.

And yet the young woman continues to claim that she is the Grand Duchess Anastasia for several decades afterwards.

You can believe it, or you don't believe it.

It doesn't matter.

DNA testing does not exist at this time, and so it is very, very difficult to conclusively prove that she is or isn't Princess Anastasia.

In 1979, two amateur historians find a number of bodies in the woods outside of Ekaterinburg that might be the bodies of the slaughtered imperial family.

But 1979 is much too early in terms of Soviet history for anyone to accept finding the bodies.

They were reburied.

And it was only with the fall of the Soviet Union, in 1991, that the bodies were re-exhumed.

DNA testing was possible on them with modern science, and members of the wider royal family of Europe, including Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, gave blood to enable the tests to be made.

The bones found in Ekaterinburg three years ago beyond any reasonable doubt are the remains of Czar Nicholas II and members of his family.

They test the remains of the imperial family against the remains of Anna Anderson and they find that conclusively she was not a member of the Romanov family.

In fact, not even vaguely related.

Franziska Schanzkowska was the real name of Anna Anderson.

She was a Polish factory worker who was declared insane and went missing in 1920.

In 1998, President Yeltsin presided over the reburial of Nicholas and the imperial family in the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the ancestral tomb of the Romanov dynasty.

But two bodies were missing.

In 2007, the last two bodies of the imperial family are found in the woods outside Ekaterinburg.

Scientists, archaeologists, historians believe that these are the remains of Alexei and his sister Maria.

These remains still await burial today.
