In the third and final season of Dark on Netflix, the show takes even more twists and turns through time — and of other worlds — and brings more questions about the characters. Covers more years than the first two seasons, even jump back to the late 1800’s. In the scenes of 1888 in episode two, we meet an old blind man who is a bit of a mystery at first, because it is not openly identified. But after putting the pieces together, we now know that the blind man is the man.
In the first place, let’s fast forward to the whole show ends. The greatest Claudia (Lisa Kreuzer) tells Adam (Dietrich Hollinderbäumer) that she knows how to untie the knot that is going to break the cycle of travel in the time, and the answer lies with H. G. Tannhaus. He is the watchmaker who created the original time travel machine in 1986 on the origin of the world. Trying to go back in time, he created two new worlds — that of Adam and Eve. This puts Tannhaus in the center of the travel in the time.
In 1888, Martha (Lisa Vicari) of a world he travels to Sic Mundus Creatus Est HQ, where she finds not only Bartosz (Paul Lux), Magnus (Moritz Jahn), Franziska (Gina Stiebitz), and older Jonas (Andreas Pietschmann) of the other world, but also the mysterious blind man.
Sic Mundus, the secret collective of travellers in the time, in fact goes beyond 1888, to H. G. Tannhaus great-great-grandfather Heinrich, and the blind man in the Sic Mundus HQ is your son, Gustavo. Despite the fact that the origin of the world of H. G. Tannhaus is the one who initiates the time travel in these two alternate universes, was his great-grandfather was Heinrich, who came up with the idea of it, and for the same reason. H. G. Tannhaus wanted to travel back in time to save his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter die in a car accident. In the alternate universe, Heinrich wanted to travel back in time to save his wife, Charlotte, of death. However, Heinrich could not get the time of travel to work, and his son Gustav took over and that’s when he met the younger travelers when it was completed in 1888, and helped to get the matter and the machinery of work.
In episode three, which in reality meet Heinrich in the beginning, when riding in a carriage with a young Gustav. He is reading to him from the play Ariadne and tells him that his mother loved it. It is a bit of a decoy, for the links to Martha and Jonas with the game and because he had been teasing in the frame of the two of them to have a child in one of the universes. Unfortunately, the child in the car is Gustav, who becomes the blind man we see in 1888, and which continues the legacy of Sic Mundus that his father, Heinrich, set up and that continued for hundreds of years in an infinite loop until it broke.
