NBC showed two exclusive sneak peaks of Monday’s episode Chapter 19 “.07%”. The first clip is additional footage of Linderman’s discussion with Nathan regarding his future where the title “.07%” comes into play and we’re showing the painting “A President Stands Alone”. The second clip is Nathan coming home to find Peter dead. One shock leads to the next as Claire walks into the room. You can view the clips below:
NBC has FINALLY released clips for Chapter 19 “.07%” which returns in less than a week (the wait has been unbearable but we’ve made it so far). There are six clips in all (and none are repeats of the Myspace clip or the opening minutes on the contest site - all new stuff). You can view the clips (along with some sound bites and a behinds the scenes clip) at the EPK NBC page or watch the six clips via YouTube embedded below.
The clips are:
Nathan and Linderman talk about the future. He and Nathan are looking at a picture of Hiro with the sword (not the Isaac painting with the dino). Nathan says he knows him to which Linderman responds, “good, tell him I want my sword back”.
Claire and Angela Petrelli discussing the family while Claire is looking at a picture of Peter and Nathan. She wants to ship Claire off to Paris for protection.
Isaac gives the last volume of Ninth Wonders to someone (either a collector or publisher) and also gives him the journal (the one he drew Peter and Simone kissing in the rain in) and says it may be worth something some day.
Niki/Jessica and DL discussing Micah. DL is aware its not Niki and threatens to take Micah away if she involves him with Linderman.
Jessica and Linderman discuss Micah to which she refuses to hand him over “send whomever you want, you’re not touching my son!”
HRG and Matt prisoners at Primatech. He wakes Matt up via thoughts and tells him that The Company plans on killing them as soon as the order comes.
NBC posted another new (but shorter) preview on the official site. Future Hiro and Ando go to Niki looking for Peter, she responds “You still trying to stop an exploding man?”
MySpace has an extended version of the last preview which shows a lot more stuff including a few surprises for the ’shippers. Essentially they added some more clips from Chapter 20 “Five Years Gone” in which we see President Petrelli, Matt kicking HRG’s ass, Peter flinging someone against the wall, Claire smooching with some guy we’ve never seen before (some are speculating it’s future Zach but obviously not played by Dekker), and two other characters smoochin that we never saw coming.
Check it out at MySpace or check out the YouTube version below which ANDO from 9th Wonders has slowed down a bit to see the faster clips better.
The TV Guide blog has posted a few spoilery tidbits for Chapter Nineteen “.07 Percent” - well a few spoilers and a few confirmations of things we’ve already kinda guessed about. Here’s da sitch:
The dense first 15 minutes are simply thrilling, capped by a Sylar-Peter showdown that I can only liken to the song “Dueling Banjos.” You’ll wish it lasted longer, but… it doesn’t.
A new painting is unveiled, this time shedding light on Nathan’s fate.
There’s a funny wink to the practice of spoiling TV shows such as Heroes. They all but mention Ausiello by name. (Mike will like that I said that. Hi, Mike!)
A certain sect of “sick” ’shippers get themselves a sweet moment.
Lotsa Matt Parkman!
Ali Larter? Never looked hotter.
Mama Petrelli does not deserve a visit from the FTD man on May 13.
Hiro and Ando surface late in the game - or very, very late, depending on how you look at it - but when they do… well, just as you may find yourself wondering, “Oh yeah, whatever happened to…?” you get your answer. And… we fade to black.
So looks like the Peter / Sylar fight is gonna be good but probably not as long as some fanboys hoped it to be. The painting we know will be “A President Stands Alone” which shows Nathan Petrelli in the Oval Office. We already kinda figured Mama Petrelli wouldn’t be winning any Mother of the Year awards but makes you wonder why TV Guide needed to remind us of that fact.
As for the last one regarding Hiro and Ando - it was kinda obvious they’d save them for last since the following episode is set in the future. However we’d like to speculate that the reference to “whatever happened to” is most likely in reference to Molly Walker (the little girl who survived Sylar back in Chapter 2 and 3) - based on the solution to Hiro’s puzzle on his blog, Molly has been hiding out with Future Hiro (I wonder what she can do).
EDIT: Comments from Ausiello
Niki has something Linderman wants. (No, not that. Well, maybe that, too.) Oh, and something very, very important to The Company can be found in New York City.
A few days ago NBC started running a new promo spot for the final five chapters of this Heroes season one set to “If Everyone Cared” by Nickelback. Good stuff in here. Hiro and Future Hiro meet, Isaac on the floor saying “I finally get to be a hero”, and Mohinder visits Mrs. Petrelli to tell her Peter is dead. Check it out below thanks to the magic of YouTube.
The official Heroes MySpace site has posted a new preview for Chapter 19 “.07%”. The preview is actually two parts.
In the first part we see montage of Isaac’s paintings with a voice over by Linderman (well, it’s obviously supposed to be Linderman but doesn’t sound like McDowell). The voice over gives a hint at the true nature of Niki’s problem - not a split personality but a split soul or perhaps two souls sharing the same body (the later a tiny bit of a stretch from what he says).
In the second part we see a bit of the scene between Nathan and Linderman. Linderman sees himself as a humanitarian who will heal the world. When Nathan mocks Linderman with the rhetorical question “what do you know about healing” Linderman demonstrates what he knows on a dying plant.
At the end of the clip is a URL to www.itstimetosavetheworld.com which features a pretty cool Heroes contest. But also on the page is a clip of the opening sequence of Chapter 19 where we find Claire running into the cell HRG’s in at PrimaTech and apologizing for not being able to hide and follow his plan. He doesn’t fall for it and it turns out to be Candice. Thompson comes in and tells Candice he wishes to speak to Bennet alone. He tells Bennet the only reason they haven’t killed him yet is because they haven’t gotten orders to - because thats what they do, follow orders.
The folks over at HeroSite (pays to have contacts in the industry) scored the descriptions for Chapter Nineteen “.07 Percent” and Chapter Twenty “String Theory”. Without further ado here they are:
CHAPTER NINETEEN “.07 PERCENT”
“SERIAL KILLER SYLAR’S RAMPAGE CONTINUES — MALCOLM MCDOWELL AND ERIC ROBERTS GUEST STAR — After “helping” Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) search for more people with special abilities, Sylar’s (guest star Zachary Quinto) rampage continues with two “heroes” being confronted by the stronger-powered serial killer. Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) must factor what he’s learned from Linderman (guest star Malcolm McDowell) into difficult decisions that will shape the future — for him, his family, New York City and the world. As Thompson (guest star Eric Roberts) uses every tool at his disposal to find Claire (Hayden Panettiere), Linderman drafts Jessica (Ali Larter) into his far-reaching plans. Meanwhile, Hiro’s (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) resolve to “save the world” strengthens in the face of a grim reality. Santiago Cabrera, Noah Gray-Cabey, Jack Coleman, Greg Grunberg, and Milo Ventimiglia also star. James Kyson Lee, Missy Peregrym and Cristine Rose also guest star.”
CHAPTER TWENTY “STRING THEORY”
HAVING STOLEN THE SWORD AND TELEPORTED FIVE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, HIRO AND ANDO BEAR WITNESS TO A GRIM, HARROWING FUTURE FOR THE “HEROES”– Thrown five years in the future, Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) discover that people with extraordinary abilities are not only widely known about — after the destruction of New York City and the deaths of millions — but are being registered, imprisoned, hunted and even killed as “terrorists.” As the President takes his first step towards a “final solution,” the pair get swept up in what could be the “Heroes” final battle and encounter a range of new and darkly familiar faces. If they survive the experience, can they still get back to the present and save the world? Santiago Cabrera, Jack Coleman, Noah Gray-Cabey, Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Leonard Roberts and Milo Ventimiglia also star. Stana Katic, Jimmy Jean-Louis and Zachary Quinto guest star.
In an interview with TV Guide, Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) reveals a small bit of whats to come. Doesn’t look like he, Ted, and HRG are gonna remain in custody at The Company for very long. HRG breaks them out and they go on a mission together:
With the help of Mr. Bennet/HRG, we’re all going to break out. It’s a really exciting episode and it sets us on this mission to stop Sylar and find the tracking system, because without the tracking system they can’t get to Claire, and they can’t get to me. The key to the whole thing is getting that computer and wiping it out.
Sounds like they’re gonna need Hana’s help
He also confirms what we’ve pretty much heard from various other sources about the season finale and everyone coming together:
We all come together and we have a mission, all for various reasons, and we don’t necessarily work as a “Super Friends” team, but we’re all at the same place at the same time with the same mission, and it’s just awesome. Like I worked with Adrian [Pasdar] the other day and I worked with Sendhil, people you never see me interact with ever on the show, so it’s really fun. The dynamic is exciting when we get to work together.
And lastly he further confirms that Clea DuVall (FBI Agent Audrey Hanson) will be back for the last two episodes of the season and perhaps even season two.
Audrey (played by Clea DuVall) returns in the last couple of episodes of the season, and hopefully will carry into next season.
When asked about what future role the Petrelli family has in the upcoming episodes Kristin had this juicy tidbit to pass on from Adrian Pasdar:
Who wants my thoughts when you could have Adrian Pasdar’s thoughts?! He says about Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose), “She has a big part to play in my life and Peter’s life and Claire’s life…And [the question of] how [my father] died is something that gets answered in 22. It wasn’t Sylar, but it’s not what we were told. He turns out to be somebody we don’t expect.” Ahhh! Why does every little snippet about this show get me so excited? (Especially when Adrian is talking?)
Yahoo TV has a new version of the promo for Chapter 19. It starts off a bit like the one shown at the end of Chapter 18 but has some different footage after the “now it’s time to save the world” part. Some highlights including seeing who the brunette version of Claire is talking to (those who guessed HRG were right on), a bit with Mohinder mentioning something about genocide to Nathan, and Linderman asking Micah if he’d like to save the world (anyone else thinking he’s gonna try and get Micah to rig Nathan’s election - can we say LANDSLIDE?).
