After doing that, he asks Adam why he is there. Adam tells him a man lives three lives: The first ends with the loss of naiveté, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself. He will turn into him. Jonas shouts he doesn't have time for this. He must return to his time as he has seen all the graves of his loved ones. Adam tells him he has plenty of time: it is 1921, and he has 99 years.

[[Jonas Kahnwald|Jonas]] asks [[Adam]] whether he knows everything that will happen. Adam says he knows of wars and scientific discoveries, and what investments to make, but he does not know what other people will do. The younger Jonas asks him if the future can be changed. Adam replies that it took him 66 years to discover a way to leave this hell.

Jonas asks Adam about [[Sic Mundus]] and the new world, asking if they are a religion. Adam says they are the opposite of that: they are the enemy of God, having declared war on time. They are creating a new world without time and without God. Adam says the God mankind has prayed to is nothing but time itself—time is not compassionate, our lives trickle away and death is inevitable.

The entire universe is a giant knot from which there is no escape. Jonas asks him if he has already had this conversation? Yes, he has asked that very question and wondered how he could ever say the words that his older self said to him, that he could not understand how he could ever want what he wanted. But 66 years later he does. There is a way out of this senseless futility. Jonas asks him why nothing ever changes? Adam tells him he could not become who he is without being who Jonas is first.

On June 25, 2020, two days until the apocalypse, [[Katharina Nielsen|Katharina]] is looking at the school photo with Mikkel in it. [[Martha Nielsen|Martha]] and [[Magnus Nielsen|Magnus]] come downstairs. Katharina tells them that there is something they need to see but they say they have to go. Martha lashes out at her, demanding to know why all of a sudden she wants to speak to them when she has ignored them for months. Katharina attempts to stroke Martha but she rebuffs her and says they no longer need to talk. They both leave.

[[Aleksander Tiedemann|Aleksander]] is on the phone asking why [[Clausen]] is so interested in the power plant and why is he really there. [[Regina Tiedemann|Regina]] announces that [[Bartosz Tiedemann|Bartosz]] is missing, and his bed was not slept in. Aleksander thinks he must have gotten back together with Martha, but Regina says no one is answering there. She asks Aleksander to tell her everything is okay, which he tells her—unconvincingly.

<nowiki/><nowiki/>[[Katharina Nielsen|Katharina]] goes to the Kahnwald house, looking for Jonas. Hannah tells her he has disappeared. Katharina asks how she can go back in time to see Mikkel, as Hannah told her she did. Hannah says that Jonas has a "time machine," but has taken it with him. [[Katharina Nielsen|Katharina]] notices pictures of [[Michael Kahnwald|Michael]] and remarks how he was always there, right in front of her. She then accuses Hannah of having slept with both her husband and her son and always wanting everything that was hers, like a parasite. She asks if [[Ulrich Nielsen|Ulrich]] ever told her he loved her, as he would always choose her.
   
  +
They are interrupted by a knock on the door. It is [[Clausen]], who has come after Hannah was not home for their appointment. He finds it hard to believe a woman whose son is missing would miss that. He is surprised to see Katharina there. He shows her the sketch of the Stranger and asks if she has ever seen him. She says she has not, and leaves. He then asks Hannah, who also denies recognizing him.

<nowiki/><nowiki/>Hannah is at the kitchen table looking over old family photos when she is interrupted by a knock at the door. It is Katharina, who asks whether Jonas is there, but Hannah says he has disappeared. Katharina wants to know how she can get "there" to where Mikkel is, and Hannah tells her that Jonas used a "time machine." Even if she did know how to use it, though, Jonas had taken it with him. Katharina looks over the pictures on the table, then comments, bitterly, that she can't believe Hannah slept with both her husband and her son. She says Hannah envied and took everything of hers, like a parasite. She asks if [[Ulrich Nielsen|Ulrich]] ever told her he loved her. Hannah remains silent, pulling out a cigarette, when there is a knock at the door.

Clausen tells Hannah that he doesn't believe anyone in town is telling the truth; everyone is hiding something. He just isn't sure whether they are hiding the same thing or all have their own secrets. He asks if Aleksander Tiedemann is still paying her, even though she no longer is his physiotherapist. She says that Aleksander helps out with money because her son has disappeared. Clausen looks at an old picture of Ulrich, Katharina and Hannah as teenagers and says it is remarkable that Katharina appears so understanding of her affair.
−
Hannah answers it to find [[Clausen]], who points out she had missed their appointment the previous day. He enters and is surprised to Katharina there—indeed, the last person he expected to see there. Since she is present however, he shows her the sketch of the Stranger and asks if she has ever seen him. She says she has not, and takes her leave. He shows the picture to Hannah, and she denies knowing him as well.

He then meets [[Charlotte Doppler|Charlotte]], who asks him who Noah is. Jonas says he is a traveler and Adam's puppet—who killed [[Mads Nielsen|Mads]], [[Erik Obendorf|Erik]], and [[Yasin Friese|Yasin]]. Charlotte asks him if he knows who her parents are. He says he does not, but that he knew [[H.G. Tannhaus]], her grandfather, though Charlotte admits that Tannhaus was not her real grandfather, even though he raised her. She asks if he was also a traveller, but Jonas says he was just a pawn, like everyone else. Claudia used him, just like she had used Jonas, [[Peter Doppler|Peter]], and the others, to have him build the time machine, which he opens. Charlotte tells him he knows what will happen in the future, which he affirms.

The younger [[Jonas Kahnwald|Jonas]] asks [[Adam]] whether he knows everything that will happen. Adam says he knows of wars and crashes, and what investments to make, but he does not know what [[Claudia Tiedemann|his counterpart]] will do. The younger Jonas implores him for a way to change the future so the apocalypse does not happen. Adam replies that it took him 66 years, but a loophole does exist, a way for him to leave this hell.

Claudia goes to visit [[Bernd Doppler]] at his [[hotel|palatial home]] and says she has checked the data and found it to be normal, so what really happened to cause the incident at the power plant? He shoves a binder across the table to her, saying he knew she would refuse to let it go; the binder contains the full results. She looks through it and says the values make no sense. He replies that the tests always came back the same, matching calculations of Englert, Brout and Higgs in 1964. Claudia knows it as the [[God Particle]]: the particle that gives all things the mass they have. She says this is sensational, such a discovery should be made available to everyone. Doppler, however, tells her that it is sometimes better to let sleeping dogs lie. The nuclear plant is his only legacy; he wants his name and the plant kept secret, at least until his death.

Clausen tells Hannah that he doesn't believe anyone in town is telling the truth; everyone is hiding something. He just isn't sure whether they are hiding the same thing or not. He asks if Aleksander Tiedemann is paying her, and she acknowledges that he is. Clausen points out that she had ceased to be his massage therapist months ago, yet he was still making deposits in her account. She replies that [[Winden]] is a tight-knit community, and Aleksander helps out with money because her son has disappeared. Clausen is skeptical, saying it is remarkable that Katharina has the same feelings. In small towns, it seems, people share their money and their beds. She stares at him coldly.
  
   
  ⚫
Claudia meets with a technician in her office, and asks him to test a sample in secret. He asks what it is, and she replies that if it is what she thinks it is, it will change their understanding of the world forever.

The children, carrying the time machine, head back to the [[Winden Caves]], though Elisabeth senses something odd, and pauses before entering with the others. As she does, [[Noah]] emerges from behind a tree.

At the psychiatric facility, (the elderly) [[Ulrich Nielsen]] looks at the photo of [[Michael Kahnwald|Mikkel]] that Egon gave him, as a nurse enters with a snack. Ulrich comes from behind him and smashes a bowl over his head, knocking him unconscious, and steals his keycard, which he uses to unlock the door.
⚫
Jonas the Stranger has returned to the bunker. [[Charlotte Doppler|Charlotte]] asks him who Noah is, and Jonas says he is another traveler, and Adam's puppet—and the murderer of [[Mads Nielsen|Mads]], [[Erik Obendorf|Erik]], and [[Yasin Friese|Yasin]]. Charlotte asks him if he knows who her parents are. He says he does not, but that he knew [[H.G. Tannhaus]], her grandfather. Charlotte admits that Tannhaus was not her real grandfather, even though he raised her. She asks if he was also a traveler, but Jonas says he was just a pawn, like everyone else. Claudia used him, just like she had used Jonas, [[Peter Doppler|Peter]], and the others, to have him build the time machine, which he unlocks and opens. Charlotte says he knows what will happen in the future, and he agrees.

He goes to the [[Kahnwald family|Kahnwald]] home and sees Mikkel sitting outside. Mikkel sees him and asks if he is all right, but Ulrich is overcome with emotion.
⚫
The children return to [[Bartosz Tiedemann|Bartosz]], still tied up in the dark. They press him about the device is, and what is going on overall. He says he cannot tell them, however, and even if he did, they wouldn't believe him. [[Franziska Doppler|Franziska]] says matter-of-factly that the human body can survive three days without nourishment, and they all prepare to leave. He pleads to [[Martha Nielsen|Martha]], then in desperation shouts after them that it is a time machine. They pause. Magnus is skeptical, but Martha tells Bartosz to show them how it works, and frees him. Bartosz opens the apparatus and asks for a phone; it just needs to search for the signal. This activates the device, and he beckons them closer. The whole group is enveloped by a black sphere, then disappears.
  
   
  ⚫
Mikkel brings Ulrich a glass of juice, and tells Ulrich he looks familiar. Ulrich says he has waited 33 years for this moment. He turns his glass over and repeats Mikkel's words "the question isn't how; it is when," asking him whether he recalls this. Mikkel nods and they hug each other, Ulrich weeps, while Mikkel calls him "Papa".

Claudia visits [[Bernd Doppler]] at his [[hotel|palatial home]], and says the records she found do not match his explanation of the incident at the plant. He shoves a binder across the table to her, saying he knew she would refuse to let it go; the binder contains the full results. She pages through it and says the values make no sense. He replies that the later tests always came back the same, mostly matching calculations of Englert, Brout and Higgs in 1964. Claudia knows it as the [[God Particle]]: the particle that gives all things the mass they have. She marvels, and says such a discovery should be shared with the public. Doppler, however, reminds her that it is better to let sleeping dogs lie. The nuclear plant is his only legacy; he wants his name and the plant kept out of things, at least until his death.

At the hospital, [[Ines Kahnwald|Ines]] opens up the medication cupboard, looks around and seeing no one watching, takes some pills and puts them in her pocket. Another nurse walks out and sees her with the cupboard open. She pretends she has to take more Iodine. She asks Ines whether she has heard about the supposed child murderer escaping from the asylum.
⚫
The aged Ulrich reaches the [[Kahnwald family|Kahnwald]] home and comes upon Mikkel, who is sitting outside. Mikkel asks if he is all right, but Ulrich is speechless, overcome with emotion.
  
   
−
At the hospital, [[Ines Kahnwald|Ines]] steals two sleeves of pills from a box, and pretends to be restocking iodine when her coworker Ina happens upon her. Ina is more worried, however, that an inmate has escaped from the mental asylum, who had killed two children in the 1950s and almost a killed a third. She warns Ines that all are to be vigilant.
+
Ines returns home, looking for Michael, but there is no sign of him. She sees the door ajar, and two cups on the table. She calls [[Egon Tiedemann|Egon]], saying she is worried the man who broke out of the asylum might be involved. Egon says he will notify the station and will come by to pick her up, as he has an idea where they might be headed.
   
  ⚫
Mikkel and Ulrich run through the forest as police cars arrive, sirens wailing. They reach the entrance to the cave just as the police do, with Egon and Ines close behind. The police fire warning shots and tell Ulrich to let go of the boy. He tries to tell them he is his son. He lets him go, vowing to come back and take him home, as lnes runs to him and hugs him, though he is more focused on his father. Seeing Egon, Ulrich says it is all his fault, and next time he will kill him.
⚫
At the Kahnwald home, Mikkel brings Ulrich a glass of juice, and they sit outside. Mikkel says Ulrich looks familiar. Ulrich say, carefully, that he has waited 33 years for that moment. He turns his glass over and says he had told him the question isn't how, but when. At this, Mikkel hugs him warmly, calling him Papa.

Ines carries Mikkel home. She makes him hot chocolate, adding contents of medication into it.

Jonas continues to question Adam about [[Sic Mundus]] and the travelers, asking if they are a religion. Adam says they are the opposite: they are the enemy of God, having declared war on time. They are creating a new world without time and without God. Adam says the God mankind has prayed to is nothing but time itself—not a sentient being, but a force of nature, and not a merciful one. Life is merely cause and effect, immutable.

Ulrich is returned to the asylum, drugged and restrained.

Charlotte returns to the [[clockmaker's shop]] and sees a picture of her as a child with Tannhaus amidst the scattered papers. She finds the blueprints to the time machine, but is interrupted just then by [[Noah]], who introduces himself. Backing away, she tells him she knows who he is, and that he is the one who has been killing the children. He tells her he is only acting to try to put a stop to things once and for all, and says she will not take things from him. He shows a photo of him with her as a baby, saying she had been premature, but had had a strong will to live. He tells her that her mother had taken the picture, and he had promised to bring Charlotte back. He had been searching for her, but she had been there the whole time—and Adam had known. He says the apocalypse is coming in two days, and he knows that he must end Adam so that everyone can live, not just those in the bunker. Charlotte asks who her mother was. Noah says she loved her very much, and still loves her, but does not give a name.

The teenagers return to the [[Winden Caves|Winden Caves and]] are observed by [[Noah]]. [[Bartosz Tiedemann|Bartosz]] is still tied up there. They ask him what is going on. He says he cannot tell them and even if he did, they wouldn't believe him. [[Franziska Doppler|Franziska]] tells him that the human body can survive three days without nourishment, and they all prepare to leave. Finally, he tells them it is a time machine. Magnus does not believe it, but Martha tells Bartosz to show them how it works. Bartosz says he needs a phone. Martha hands him hers. This activates the device.
−
The children emerge from the cave and find the landscape different, and that the armchair is missing. Bartosz says he didn't believe it at first either, but Noah told him things would happen which all came to pass: about Martha's kiss with Jonas, his mother's cancer, Jonas' disappearance. Magnus and Martha do not know who Noah is, but Franziska says [[Elisabeth Doppler|Elisabeth]] knows him.
  
   
−
Bartosz continues that Noah told him there was a war for control of time, that [[Claudia Tiedemann|his grandmother]] was involved, and that Jonas would return. Magnus scoffs at this, and turns to leave. Bartosz asks Martha if she trusts him, and she turns to follow Magnus.
 +
The teenagers emerge from the cave and realize the landscape is different, the chair is missing. Bartosz says he didn't believe it at first either, but Noah told him what would happen before they happened: Martha would kiss Jonas, his mother would get cancer, Jonas would disappear but he will soon return. Franziska says [[Elisabeth Doppler|Elisabeth]] knows Noah. Magnus scoffs and leaves, the others following. Bartosz asks Martha if she trusts him. She does not answer and goes to join the others.
   
  +
They emerge from the forest and come to the bus stop. Posters advertise a 1987 concert. Police cars drive past, containing Ulrich, who recognizes his children and tells the police to stop but they drive on. Bartosz asks them if they believe him now. Martha looks at him and walks off with the others.

Ines returns home and calls for Michael, but there is no answer. She finds the door ajar, and walking onto the patio, sees the two cups on the table. She calls [[Egon Tiedemann|Egon]], saying she is worried the man who broke out of the asylum might be involved. Egon says he will notify the station and will come by to pick her up, as he has an idea where they might be headed.

Charlotte returns to the [[clockmaker's shop]] and finds a picture of her as a child with Tannhaus, as well as the blueprints to the time machine. The door opens. [[Noah]] enters and introduces himself. Charlotte says she knows who he is and that he has killed the children. He tells her he hopes she will one day understand that he is only acting to try to put a stop to everything once and for all, so she won't be taken from him again like her mother was. He shows a photo of him with her as a baby, saying she had been premature but had a strong will to live. He tells her that her mother had taken the picture, and he had promised to bring Charlotte back. He had been searching for her, but she had been there the whole time—and Adam had known. He says the apocalypse is going to happen in two days, and he knows that he must end Adam so that everyone can live, not just those in the bunker. Charlotte asks him who her mother was.

Mikkel and Ulrich run through the forest as sirens wail. They reach the entrance to the cave just as the police do, with Egon and Ines close behind. The police fire warning shots, and Ulrich stops running. As the police carry him away and Ines grabs a hold of Michael, Ulrich shouts a promise to Mikkel that he will come back to take him home. Seeing Egon, Ulrich says it is all Egon's fault, and he will kill him if he ever sees him again.

The older Jonas returns home. He asks his mother whether she ever loved [[Michael Kahnwald|his father]]? He tells her he knows of her affair with Ulrich. He asks who she would choose: Ulrich or Papa. He tells her he thought she was the only person he could trust. She admits that she messed up everything, and Jonas says coldly that perhaps she has always done that; she needs no one, just herself.

As the camera pans out from Adam's collection of portraits of the four Winden families, he intones that Michael/Mikkel is just a part of a knot that is vastly larger and more convoluted. The entire universe is a knot from which there is no escape. [[Jonas Kahnwald|Jonas]] asks, if nothing can change, if Adam has already had this conversation; he says he has, and asked the very same question. He thought the moment would never be repeated all his life, but that was because he could not understand what "his" Adam wanted. Now, 66 years later, however, he understands because of pain he has never forgotten. He sees a way out of the futility, however. Jonas wonders why, if there is an escape, nothing has changed, and everything is happening over again. Adam rises and walks over to a corner with framed blueprints for the appartus, the chair, the bunker, and the future control system, and says that is not the end of the chain.

Adam leads Jonas and shows him a [[God Particle]] that was created by him, that will send him to the day he chooses to travel to and break the 33-year cycle. Jonas now understands why he is there, so he can stop the apocalypse from happening, by stopping its beginning. Adam says the question is when is the beginning and what sacrifice must be made? Jonas tells him the day before his father committed suicide, the 20th of June, 2019, was when everything went to chaos. Adam tells Jonas that if he can prevent the suicide, then nothing that follows will occur: Mikkel will not travel back, they will never be born, but everyone else will live—including Martha. They will reorder the world.
−
At the Sic Mundus lair, Adam and Jonas walk into a chamber where a chaotic [[God Particle]] is churning and throbbing in the middle. Adam says it is not the same one that Jonas has seen before, but is like its twin, known as ether, dark matter, and the Higgs field. Jonas asks how it was created. Adam replies that the one Jonas saw was created by the apocalypse in two days that he so desperately wants to prevent. This one, however, was created by a technological device, and will be the end of the knot—it will send Jonas to the day he wants to travel to, to break the 33-year cycle.

Jonas understands now why he is there: Adam wants to send him to stop the apocalypse, he only needs to know when the beginning of the apocalypse will take place. Jonas says to send him to the 20th of June, 2019, just before Michael's suicide. Adam says if Jonas can prevent the suicide, then nothing that follows will occur. Mikkel will not travel back, and Jonas will never be born, but everyone else will live—including Martha.

"Lost and Found" is the fifth episode of Season 2 of Dark. It is the 15th episode overall.

Summary

In 1987, Ulrich seizes an opportunity. The kids return to the cave with the time machine, and Jonas learns of a loophole that could change the future.

Plot

2020

The older Jonas and Martha are making love but mysterious black strands form veins in her abdomen, bursting out of her navel. Jonas then awakens from this nightmare, panting.  

1921

The younger Jonas awakens in a strange room and is startled to find Adam sitting in a chair observing him. Adam tells him that people are repelled by those most similar to themselves. Jonas replies that he simply wants to know how to get home. Adam tells him to get dressed. His clothes have been laundered and neatly folded.

After doing that, he asks Adam why he is there. Adam tells him a man lives three lives: The first ends with the loss of naiveté, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself. He will turn into him. Jonas shouts he doesn't have time for this. He must return to his time as he has seen all the graves of his loved ones. Adam tells him he has plenty of time: it is 1921, and he has 99 years.

Jonas asks Adam whether he knows everything that will happen. Adam says he knows of wars and scientific discoveries, and what investments to make, but he does not know what other people will do. The younger Jonas asks him if the future can be changed. Adam replies that it took him 66 years to discover a way to leave this hell.

Jonas asks Adam about Sic Mundus and the new world, asking if they are a religion. Adam says they are the opposite of that: they are the enemy of God, having declared war on time. They are creating a new world without time and without God. Adam says the God mankind has prayed to is nothing but time itself—time is not compassionate, our lives trickle away and death is inevitable.

The entire universe is a giant knot from which there is no escape. Jonas asks him if he has already had this conversation? Yes, he has asked that very question and wondered how he could ever say the words that his older self said to him, that he could not understand how he could ever want what he wanted. But 66 years later he does. There is a way out of this senseless futility. Jonas asks him why nothing ever changes? Adam tells him he could not become who he is without being who Jonas is first.

2020

On June 25, 2020, two days until the apocalypse, Katharina is looking at the school photo with Mikkel in it. Martha and Magnus come downstairs. Katharina tells them that there is something they need to see but they say they have to go. Martha lashes out at her, demanding to know why all of a sudden she wants to speak to them when she has ignored them for months. Katharina attempts to stroke Martha but she rebuffs her and says they no longer need to talk. They both leave.

Aleksander is on the phone asking why Clausen is so interested in the power plant and why is he really there. Regina announces that Bartosz is missing, and his bed was not slept in. Aleksander thinks he must have gotten back together with Martha, but Regina says no one is answering there. She asks Aleksander to tell her everything is okay, which he tells her—unconvincingly.

1987

Claudia looks at a newspaper article concerning the death of her father Egon on 26 June 1987 (the next day). Her assistant comes in to remind her that the French delegation is waiting for their meeting, but Claudia tells her to reschedule and leaves.

She goes to visit Egon. He tells her it is a long time since she visited him. He tells her he is proud of all her accomplishments, and that her mother would be too. Claudia becomes emotional. She gets up to leave, telling him he should move in with her and Regina, so he would not be so alone, suggesting tomorrow. This surprises Egon, who says she is acting as though he is inches from death.

2020

Katharina goes to the Kahnwald house, looking for Jonas. Hannah tells her he has disappeared. Katharina asks how she can go back in time to see Mikkel, as Hannah told her she did. Hannah says that Jonas has a "time machine," but has taken it with him. Katharina notices pictures of Michael and remarks how he was always there, right in front of her. She then accuses Hannah of having slept with both her husband and her son and always wanting everything that was hers, like a parasite. She asks if Ulrich ever told her he loved her, as he would always choose her.

They are interrupted by a knock on the door. It is Clausen, who has come after Hannah was not home for their appointment. He finds it hard to believe a woman whose son is missing would miss that. He is surprised to see Katharina there. He shows her the sketch of the Stranger and asks if she has ever seen him. She says she has not, and leaves. He then asks Hannah, who also denies recognizing him.

Clausen tells Hannah that he doesn't believe anyone in town is telling the truth; everyone is hiding something. He just isn't sure whether they are hiding the same thing or all have their own secrets. He asks if Aleksander Tiedemann is still paying her, even though she no longer is his physiotherapist. She says that Aleksander helps out with money because her son has disappeared. Clausen looks at an old picture of Ulrich, Katharina and Hannah as teenagers and says it is remarkable that Katharina appears so understanding of her affair.

The older Jonas breaks into the empty Nielsen house and walks into Martha's room. He sits on her bed and places the St. Christopher medal on it.

He then meets Charlotte, who asks him who Noah is. Jonas says he is a traveler and Adam's puppet—who killed Mads, Erik, and Yasin. Charlotte asks him if he knows who her parents are. He says he does not, but that he knew H.G. Tannhaus, her grandfather, though Charlotte admits that Tannhaus was not her real grandfather, even though he raised her. She asks if he was also a traveller, but Jonas says he was just a pawn, like everyone else. Claudia used him, just like she had used Jonas, Peter, and the others, to have him build the time machine, which he opens. Charlotte tells him he knows what will happen in the future, which he affirms.

1987

Claudia goes to visit Bernd Doppler at his palatial home and says she has checked the data and found it to be normal, so what really happened to cause the incident at the power plant? He shoves a binder across the table to her, saying he knew she would refuse to let it go; the binder contains the full results. She looks through it and says the values make no sense. He replies that the tests always came back the same, matching calculations of Englert, Brout and Higgs in 1964. Claudia knows it as the God Particle: the particle that gives all things the mass they have. She says this is sensational, such a discovery should be made available to everyone. Doppler, however, tells her that it is sometimes better to let sleeping dogs lie. The nuclear plant is his only legacy; he wants his name and the plant kept secret, at least until his death.

Claudia meets with a technician in her office, and asks him to test a sample in secret. He asks what it is, and she replies that if it is what she thinks it is, it will change their understanding of the world forever.

At the psychiatric facility, (the elderly) Ulrich Nielsen looks at the photo of Mikkel that Egon gave him, as a nurse enters with a snack. Ulrich comes from behind him and smashes a bowl over his head, knocking him unconscious, and steals his keycard, which he uses to unlock the door.

He goes to the Kahnwald home and sees Mikkel sitting outside. Mikkel sees him and asks if he is all right, but Ulrich is overcome with emotion.

Mikkel brings Ulrich a glass of juice, and tells Ulrich he looks familiar. Ulrich says he has waited 33 years for this moment. He turns his glass over and repeats Mikkel's words "the question isn't how; it is when," asking him whether he recalls this. Mikkel nods and they hug each other, Ulrich weeps, while Mikkel calls him "Papa".

At the hospital, Ines opens up the medication cupboard, looks around and seeing no one watching, takes some pills and puts them in her pocket. Another nurse walks out and sees her with the cupboard open. She pretends she has to take more Iodine. She asks Ines whether she has heard about the supposed child murderer escaping from the asylum.

Ines returns home, looking for Michael, but there is no sign of him. She sees the door ajar, and two cups on the table. She calls Egon, saying she is worried the man who broke out of the asylum might be involved. Egon says he will notify the station and will come by to pick her up, as he has an idea where they might be headed.

Mikkel and Ulrich run through the forest as police cars arrive, sirens wailing. They reach the entrance to the cave just as the police do, with Egon and Ines close behind. The police fire warning shots and tell Ulrich to let go of the boy. He tries to tell them he is his son. He lets him go, vowing to come back and take him home, as lnes runs to him and hugs him, though he is more focused on his father. Seeing Egon, Ulrich says it is all his fault, and next time he will kill him.

Ines carries Mikkel home. She makes him hot chocolate, adding contents of medication into it.

Ulrich is returned to the asylum, drugged and restrained.

2020

The teenagers return to the Winden Caves and are observed by Noah. Bartosz is still tied up there. They ask him what is going on. He says he cannot tell them and even if he did, they wouldn't believe him. Franziska tells him that the human body can survive three days without nourishment, and they all prepare to leave. Finally, he tells them it is a time machine. Magnus does not believe it, but Martha tells Bartosz to show them how it works. Bartosz says he needs a phone. Martha hands him hers. This activates the device.

The teenagers emerge from the cave and realize the landscape is different, the chair is missing. Bartosz says he didn't believe it at first either, but Noah told him what would happen before they happened: Martha would kiss Jonas, his mother would get cancer, Jonas would disappear but he will soon return. Franziska says Elisabeth knows Noah. Magnus scoffs and leaves, the others following. Bartosz asks Martha if she trusts him. She does not answer and goes to join the others.

They emerge from the forest and come to the bus stop. Posters advertise a 1987 concert. Police cars drive past, containing Ulrich, who recognizes his children and tells the police to stop but they drive on. Bartosz asks them if they believe him now. Martha looks at him and walks off with the others.

Charlotte returns to the clockmaker's shop and finds a picture of her as a child with Tannhaus, as well as the blueprints to the time machine. The door opens. Noah enters and introduces himself. Charlotte says she knows who he is and that he has killed the children. He tells her he hopes she will one day understand that he is only acting to try to put a stop to everything once and for all, so she won't be taken from him again like her mother was. He shows a photo of him with her as a baby, saying she had been premature but had a strong will to live. He tells her that her mother had taken the picture, and he had promised to bring Charlotte back. He had been searching for her, but she had been there the whole time—and Adam had known. He says the apocalypse is going to happen in two days, and he knows that he must end Adam so that everyone can live, not just those in the bunker. Charlotte asks him who her mother was. Noah says she loved her very much, and still loves her, then leaves, causing Charlotte to burst into tears.

The older Jonas returns home. He asks his mother whether she ever loved his father? He tells her he knows of her affair with Ulrich. He asks who she would choose: Ulrich or Papa. He tells her he thought she was the only person he could trust. She admits that she messed up everything, and Jonas says coldly that perhaps she has always done that; she needs no one, just herself.

Martha returns home and finds the St. Christopher medal on her bed.

1921

Adam leads Jonas and shows him a God Particle that was created by him, that will send him to the day he chooses to travel to and break the 33-year cycle. Jonas now understands why he is there, so he can stop the apocalypse from happening, by stopping its beginning. Adam says the question is when is the beginning and what sacrifice must be made? Jonas tells him the day before his father committed suicide, the 20th of June, 2019, was when everything went to chaos. Adam tells Jonas that if he can prevent the suicide, then nothing that follows will occur: Mikkel will not travel back, they will never be born, but everyone else will live—including Martha. They will reorder the world.

Adam activates the God Particle, causing it to stabilize into a smooth sphere. Jonas, gas mask on, enters the God Particle.

Quotes

  • Adam: Is it not peculiar that one feels the greatest aversion towards the very people who are most similar to oneself?
  • Martha: You've hardly spoken to us in months and now you want to know what we think? Look around you. We're the kids, but you've been acting like one for months.
  • Adam: A person lives three lives. The first ends with the loss of naïveté, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself. It is inevitable that we go through all three stages. You will turn into your older self, and your older self into what you see before you.
  • Claudia: I want you to move in with us. You wouldn't be so alone, and Regina would be happy to see more of you. Tomorrow would be best.
    Egon: Tomorrow? You're acting like I'm almost on my deathbed.
  • Katharina: He was always here, right in front of me. I just can't believe you slept with my husband and my son—nut you always did want what belonged to me. You're like a parasite. Did Ulrich ever actually tell you he loved you? In the end, he would always choose us.
  • Clausen: I've been here almost a week, and I get the impression no one is telling the truth. Everyone's trying to hide something—although I'm not sure

if you're all hiding the same thing or if everyone is trying to keep their own skeleton in the closet.

  • Adam: We've declared war on time, declared war on God. We're creating a new world, without time, without God. What does that mean? It means that what people have worshiped for millennia—the God who holds everything together—that God is nothing more than time itself. Not a thinking, acting entity, a physical law with which one can negotiate as little as one can with one's own fate. God is time. And time is not merciful. We are born, and our life is already trickling away like the sand in this hourglass. Death is forever inevitably before us. Our fate is nothing but a concatenation of cause and effect, in light and in shadow.

Analysis

  • The recurring dream of Jonas and Martha making love is seen again, this time involving the older Jonas, who also awakens panting and sitting on the edge of his bed, as we have seen with teenage Jonas, Martha and Mikkel.
  • Hannah continues to lose the men in her life- Michael, Young Jonas, Ulrich and now Older Jonas.
  • Ines seems determined to hold onto Mikkel and prevent him from finding his family, Why is she drugging him?
  • Why would Adam send Jonas to prevent Michael's suicide, thus erasing his existence?
