In Dark series Season 3, we see that Hannah travels back to 1911, to Adam (Jonas, his son) alongside Silja who is his half-sister. Adam tells them that they are in "wrong place". So at midnight, Adam sneaks into Hannah and Silja's room to take Silja and send her to post-apocalypse time. But Hannah wakes up and after a little chat with Adam (which is not aggressive), Adam suffocates and kills her, his mother!

Was it necessary to kill her? Although she is secretly a cunning, selfish and ruthless individual, she happens to care about Jonas and throughout the story we don't see a clue that Jonas is upset about her actions. Jonas is a powerful man in 1911 and definitely Hannah can't stop him to do his job.



Best Answer

By that time, in 1911, all the years of working with the time machine has caused Jonas physical and mental change. He's become cold, calculating, and vengeful. Magnus tells Hannah that Jonas is not the same thanks to all the time travel.

He has changed. Traveling has left its mark on him.

Hannah announces to Adam that she was approached by an Old lady who advised her to go to 1911, Eva.

A few days ago there was this old woman. She just showed up on our doorstep. Eva. She said she knew where you were. And that you were looking for me.

Adam instantly considers this to be a threat to his plans. Something that Eva is doing to disrupt his scheme to destroy the knot.

Considering Hannah has the potential to disrupt, and that he has lost all worldly affections, Adam simply chooses to eliminate Hannah to ensure his plan is not disturbed. It's like swatting a fly for him.

(Little does he know that Eva is a step ahead of him all the time)

Is Adam evil in Dark?

While Adam wasn't evil, he did some questionable things such as ordering Agnes Nielsen (Antje Traue) to kill her brother Noah (Mark Waschke). He also murdered Martha twice in the belief this would end the cycle, which it didn't.

Did Adam lie to Jonas?

He lied to Jonas because he thought it was necessary to stop the cycle, but it was a pre-determined action within the endless loop. Just like Eva (Barbara N\xfcsse), he wrongly thought the origin of the knot was their son when really it was something completely unconnected to their two worlds.

Why Jonas killed his mother?

Claudia's assistant stood against him and so he killed her.

Answer 2

Adam killed Hannah because he needed to kidnap Hannah’s daughter Silja in order to move her to the right time to ensure events play out as they always have. In particular she needs to be in the post-Apocalypse future and then she needs to go to the past in order to have children with Bartosz.
