INTERVIEW: Neil Napier & Steven Maeda Talk Helix Season 2!

By  | 

NUP_165306_1871.jpgTuesday we had the pleasure of speaking with Neil Napier (Dr. Peter Farragut) along with Executive Producer and Showrunner Steven Maeda regarding Season 2 of Helix. One thing quickly became apparent right away: something is creepy with Peter this season. Without giving us any major details, both men successfully piqued my interest.

The words “transformative” and “transendent” were used to describe Peter. Steven said “Peter is going through some very interesting places this year.” Neil added; “Peter has some really interesting journey in season two. So yes, there is quite of – it is quite transformative for him, let me put it that way.”

Steven quipped “Yes, take from that if you will.”

Neil continued to say: “Yes, it’s a transcendent and transformative experience in season two for Peter…. there are a lot of twists and turns. There’s a lot .. for everyone in this season. And again, it’s – you know nothing is really ever what it seems. …. I think it’s a pretty wild ride. You guys are going to love it.”  On whether he will be in-makeup this season, Neil added: “Well, I’m not sure that Peter is not one of the show’s monsters this season, but definitely in episode one, aesthetically he’s not at least. This year, I think what is a monster is left a little more to the interpretation of the audience..there’s a little more grey zone in that realm of what constitutes a monster.”

Helix - Season 1While we are on the subject of Peter, we were wondering which side the former Vector King is really on given the revelation in the finale. Neil gave us some insight into his character as well as revealing some family history in the coming episodes. ” I would say conflicted guy, rather than good guy, or bad guy. I always think of Peter as a guy who’s trying to do the best he can and live up to certain expectations he has for himself, you know, based on his relationship with his family …. in season two, we’re going to explore more of the relationship between Peter and Alan. And I think you’ve noticed some pretty interesting places, and will really help to inform why Peter is conflicted and you know seems to be playing for a couple of sides at once.”

Steven indicated the creative use of  cheerfully creepy music would continue. ” Yes, absolutely. We are in the process right now on doing a lot of post-work and sound work on the show. And yes, we are absolutely planning on bringing along the musical styling of the first season into the second season.” This is good news for the fans, including myself, who are both delighted and freaked out at the same time with the shows use of music.

Helix_monkeySeason one was so wonderfully disgusting with the appearance of black goo, silver eyes, filed teeth, death by hairless lab rats, and flaming-screaming-monkeys. Is it possible to raise the bar? Steven seems to feel the ick factor continues quite well. “Oh yes. ..we spent a copious amount of time trying to come up with what are the most horrible things that we can actually show on television. But we also want to make them interesting. We want them to feel organic to the story.  It’s definitely a horror show, and you know it’s very dark. But at the same time hopefully, darkly funny.”

At the end of last season we dealt with some time jumps. Season two is no different and we are given an eighteen month difference. The reason is very intentional. Steven explained: ” the main part of it was that we wanted to be able to actually see immortality, which is a very difficult thing to see when you stay in the present. And so that kind of spun the whole idea of this Walker doing timeline. And you know this season we decided to play with structure as well and kind of use – you know we’re going to see Walker in the future, we’re going to see Walker in the present, we may even be doing some flashbacks. So we really wanted to play with time and play with immortality in a visual way.”

Helix109_mugshotSeason two of Helix looks to continue the trend of mind-bendingly disturbing which makes this fan quite satisfied. For the complete transcript, please read below. Be sure to follow me @PxlWvr and @nicegirlstv as we live tweet each episode. Catch the premier of Helix, this Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern. Only on Syfy.

Operator: Good afternoon. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Helix conference call. All lines will be placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question and answer session.

If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press the pound key. Thank you.

Maureen from Syfy, you may begin your call.

Maureen Granados: Great, thank you everyone for joining. This is Maureen Granados from the PR team over at Syfy. We’re really excited about Helix season two premiering this Friday.

And with us on this call, we have showrunner and executive producer, Steve Maeda; and star of Helix, Neil Napier. So thank you so much you guys, for taking the time to do this.

And I think without further ado, we will turn it over to everyone’s questions so we can get them all in.

Operator: If you would like to ask a question at this time, please press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. We’ll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster.

Your first question comes from the line of Mary Powers from TVGeekTalk.com. Your line is now open.

Mary Powers: Hi there, and good afternoon.

Male: Hello.

Male: Good afternoon.

Mary Powers: Hey. OK, this question is primarily for Neil. At the end of last season, I guess it was revealed that Peter may not be as nice as we thought he had been, because we found out he’s working with (Larry) and then that horrible (Sky). And now on the season two premiere, he seems to be back his business as usual and working with the CDC on this new outbreak.

Neil Napier: Right.

Mary Powers: So good guy versus bad guy, which is it? Can you just talk a little bit about that, and about your character and where we’re going in season two?

Neil Napier: Sure. I can talk a little bit about that.

I would say conflicted guy, rather than good guy, or bad guy. I always think of Peter as a guy who’s trying to do the best he can and live up to certain expectations he has for himself, you know, based on his relationship with his family of origin, the relationship with his brother Alan that we see – we get to see a little bit in season one. And in season two, we’re going to explore more of the relationship between Peter and Alan. And I think you’ve noticed some pretty interesting places, and will really help to inform why Peter is conflicted and you know seems to be playing for a couple of sides at once.

But yes, I think we’re going to get a lot of that from season two.

Mary Powers: OK, great …

Steven Maeda: Peter is going through some very interesting places this year right now.

Neil Napier: Oh yes. Very interesting places.

Mary Powers: So is he going to have more of – I guess more prominent role now? He was – had a big role in season one, but he was kind of hidden away as a Vector for most of the season. And now, he’s more upfront. Is that going to be something throughout the season? I know he was in the premiere.

Neil Napier: Right, yes. Well Peter – yes, as you said, Peter starts off you know on his feet (first off) which is a nice thing. But again, yes, he goes to some pretty interesting places, and we’re going to see quite a lot of Peter. And it’s really interesting. I think you guys are going to love the way this story unfolds for season two. So I don’t want to tell you too much because then it would be (stealing) from you.

Mary Powers: OK, great. I’ve seen the premiere and loved it and look forward to the rest of the season. Thank you.

Neil Napier: Right on, thanks Mary.

Steven Maeda: Thanks.

Operator: Your next question comes from Joshua Maloni from Niagara Frontier Publications. Your line is now open.

Joshua Maloni: Hey guys, thanks for your time today, appreciate it.

Steven Maeda: Sure.

Neil Napier: Pleasure.

Joshua Maloni: Steven, I’m fascinated by the dueling timelines. Can you tell us a little bit about that thought process behind that?

Steven Maeda: Yes. Part of that was – the main part of it was that we wanted to be able to actually see immortality, which is a very difficult thing to see when you stay in the present. And so that kind of spun the whole idea of this Walker doing timeline. And you know this season we decided to play with structure as well and kind of use – you know we’re going to see Walker in the future, we’re going to see Walker in the present, we may even be doing some flashbacks. So we really wanted to play with time and play with immortality in a visual way.

Joshua Maloni: OK. And Neil, can you talk about sort of the process preparing for the character in season one versus season two? I mean, to the casual observer, it may seem kind of odd that the crazy infected guy from season one is now leading the team in season two.

Steven Maeda: (It is).

What, something ought to happen on Helix?

Neil Napier: (Scandalous).

Yes, well season one and season two – I kind of went through pretty different preparation. Season one was – there’s really like, a pretty serious application of my imagination because I have no kind of frame of reference what it is to be a Vector and to be sick with NARVIK. So there was a lot of – a lot of play in imagination in that. And what was important to me was to keep my thumb on the man underneath the monster if you will, to really you know make sure that Peter retained his humanity throughout what was going on.

And as we came out of the end of season one, we see you know Peter’s cured. I don’t know how much residual effect from his ordeal in season one is carried through the season two – I mean, I know, but I’m not telling you.

And – but spiritually and emotionally, mentally, there’s a lot of baggage that carries over from season one into season two, and I used a lot in season two, the preparation looking back to the journey that Peter had been on up to this point and informs where we’re going.

Joshua Maloni: All right.

Steven Maeda: And I don’t how many people know this, but this is the story I told a lot during season one. Initially you know the character of Peter was dead in the original pilot. He had died succumb to the disease that became NARVIK. And then we made the decision before we casted Neil – oh no, let’s keep him around for a couple episodes then we’ll kill him. And we so we cast – you know we casted Neil and he did a wonderful job. And then we thought you know what, maybe there’s something – yes, we’ll keep him around for a couple more. And it wasn’t until we then did a flashback – or sorry, not flashback, hallucination sequence where we had a scene Neil out of the makeup and we went oh, what have we here – and look at him now.

Neil Napier: I’m not dead yet.

Steven Maeda: (Not dead yet).

Joshua Maloni: Well, it’s a great show and I’m looking forward to a good season, and I appreciate you guys’ time today.

Neil Napier: Thanks a lot Joshua.

Operator: Your next question comes from Robin Burks from Tech Times T-Lounge. Your line is now open.

Robin Burks: Hi guys, thank you for talking to us today.

Steven Maeda: (Hey there).

Robin Burks: Could you talk a little bit about when and where the new season kicks off in relation to last season’s finale?

Neil Napier: I’ll leave that to Steve.

Steven Maeda: Yes. Well what we want to do with the show is really do a little bit of reinvention with it, every season. And so that was always our plan from the get go. And so we did a little – a jump ahead in the end of last season going from the destruction of Arctic BioSystems from Paris. And so we’re jumping ahead in time again to this very remote area in the Pacific Ocean kind of off you know 20 yards away from Seattle. And it felt to us like a very different place to have the show, but also a place where we could still play trapped, play claustrophobic.

And so you know we’re jumping ahead – we’re probably about a year and a half ahead of the destruction of Arctic BioSystems from last season. And as a result, what it does for us which is really nice is it allows us to start the characters in some very different places than where we left off, even jumping ahead a little bit at the end of last season. And then we get to kind of backfill and tell you the story of how they got there.

Robin Burks: Also, how does that change of scenery affect the tone and mood of the show?

Steven Maeda: (Inaudible) – in a huge way, I think. I mean, just being able to go outside and shoot (trees) is a nice thing. I’m sure Neil would agree with this because he was the one who’s having to do it every day.

But yes, I think we’re going to maintain our (tunnel), we’re going to maintain the horror elements. We’re going to you know keep the things that made Helix Helix from last year. But definitely, it’s going to – the show will have a different look to it.

Robin Burks: Great, thank you.

Neil Napier: Yes, there was – cheers.

Operator: Your next question comes from Jamie Ruby from scifivision.com. Your line is now open.

Jamie Ruby: Hi guys, thanks for doing the call today.

Steven Maeda: You’re welcome.

Neil Napier: Hey Jamie, good to talk to you.

Jamie Ruby: Good to talk to you.

Well it seems my other questions were taken. I was curious, obviously you’ve jumped ahead as you’ve just said and we’re kind of in these two different times. Is it going to be soon though that we’re going to kind of deal with the fallout of everything and have everybody – not everybody, but you know more people back together? Because right now, obviously Julia is completely separated from everybody.

Can you talk kind of about that, maybe the interactions we’ll see coming up?

Steven Maeda: Sure. So (probably) to say that everybody will be meeting up at some point. It will definitely happen before the end of the season, and you know the challenge for us was trying to keep the storyline you know both moving ahead in a way that you know was hopefully satisfying and is kind of an interesting thing to watch even though we’re watching both storylines from the same episodes going kind of different direction.

But yes, we are definitely planning on bringing everything all together and having – I think that the reunions be they happy or sad, are going to be very rewarding when they finally start happening.

Jamie Ruby: OK, great. Sorry about my dog.

And then the other thing I was going to ask for both of you is can you go about how the new characters, Steven Weber and Matt Long, how they’re going to kind of affect the team balance and everything.

Neil Napier: I’ll let Steven start with that.

Steven Maeda: Yes, they – it’s definitely a rebalancing in a way – it’s funny my dog is looking up right now going what is that.

Jamie Ruby: It’s loud.

Steven Maeda: It’s a rebalance in a sense because some people are still doing the same job they were doing last season. And you know it’s just having Peter on the team, I think, adds something different. And Matt brought a completely different flavor to it you know and not having Alan on the team at the start you know not having Walker on the team – those are things where you’re just forced to deal with a whole new set of relationships by virtue of people being absent.

But then I think when we find out where they are and what they’re doing, I think it’s going to be very interesting and hopefully will be surprising and fun and take the show in some new direction.

Neil Napier: Yes, I think it really brings a lot to bring in the new characters and to have characters that we know from last year in sort of different roles and in different relationship dynamics.

Steven Maeda: Yes.

Neil Napier: I think it was also a real fun challenge and gift for the actors themselves to explore these new relationships with characters that we know, but have not interacted with the other characters in this way yet. And it was a real gift to get Matt and Steven on board this year. They were like, fantastic on and off screen. So we’re really blessed for that.

Jamie Ruby: OK. Well, I can’t wait to see the rest and to see everybody come together finally.

Neil Napier: Right on. We can’t wait to unleash it on you.

Steven Maeda: Great.

Jamie Ruby: Great. Thanks a lot guys.

Neil Napier: Cheers, Jamie.

Operator: Your next question comes from Tony Tellado from Sci-Fi Talk. Your line is open.

Tony Tellado: Great. Gentlemen, great to talk to you. I’ve been – well, I’m covering the show since the beginning starting at Comic Con before. (Anybody) was even cast, I remember.

Steven Maeda: Oh, yes.

Tony Tellado: But it’s great. I mean, I just – I re-watched the season one. I’ve binge watched it. It was fantastic to see it all again and I didn’t have to wait every week, so it was great.

Steven Maeda: Great.

Tony Tellado: It looks like from what I’ve – bits and pieces and I have seen, it looks like the Steven Weber’s group is almost like in the (cold range) and then they’re doing (investigate). How does this group kind of affect the team when they investigate a little bit? No spoiler, but just kind of a little teasing as to what they are.

Steven Maeda: Yes, the Steven Weber group, it really is a cult of sort. They espouse a very kind of different worldview, and they have been living in isolation on this island for generations. And really you know bring a new set of obstacles to our people in you know in identifying and trying to find the (passages). And then of course you know there will be certain characters who have much more going on with that, than letting on initially.

But I think it’s an interesting challenge, too you know kind of parachute down into a group as we did season one and suddenly have to deal with an existing power structure as if in political situation and establish relationships and be kind of the new people there who are upset the upper card and you know push things around and start poking around in all the dark corners.

Neil Napier: Yes, it really keeps all the CDC characters who are coming and starting to interact with these people, really off-balance, which is I think keeps it really exciting, because we don’t know what’s going to happen at any given moment.

Tony Tellado: Yes, I hear you. Well that’s one thing about Helix, you never can depend on anything happening the way you think, pretty sure.

Steven Maeda: We’d love to hear that.

Tony Tellado: And we love that.

And is the whole immortal storyline still going to play a part in this season at all?

Steven Maeda: Very much so. One of the things that we wanted to do is go to a different place and location-wise and to show – let the show have a different look to it and be dealing primarily with a new pathogen, but at the same time bring along our characters and bring along the vast story from season one. So it’s not a complete reinvention. We’re not American Horror Story where we completely reinvent the wheel every season. But we do reinvent something and bring other you know pieces along. So yes, absolutely, we will be learning much more about the immortals this season.

Tony Tellado: Awesome. Yes, it’s a great series and it’s been a blast to watch. And what a great cast too – all of you are just really fantastic.

Steven Maeda: Yes, they are really wonderful. Thank you.

Tony Tellado: You’re welcome.

Neil Napier: Thank you (Tony).

Operator: Your next question comes from Courtney Vaudreuil from ohsogray.com. Your line is open.

Courtney Vaudreuil: Hi, thanks for talking with us today.

Steven Maeda: Pleasure.

Courtney Vaudreuil: My first question is in terms of the main characters that survives the end of season one, are there any that we aren’t going to see back this season?

Steven Maeda: Oh, that’s – that would be giving too much away.

You will be seeing a lot of the main characters from season one in various incarnations. And one of the great things about Helix is does dead really mean dead. So let’s just say you’ll be seeing – you will be seeing lots of familiar faces from season one.

Courtney Vaudreuil: And as far as the time jumps are concerned, we have two time jumps in the first episode in that we go forward a year and a half and then we kind of have the next jump. How many more jumps are we going to have?

Steven Maeda: I think there will be some interesting jumps. But primarily, there will be some interesting one-off storytelling where we jump back a couple of months. So where we jump back you know maybe a couple of hundred years. But primarily the show is going to be dealing in two time periods. We’re going to be in the present day on (inaudible) with our CDC team, and we’re going to be with Walker as she does the investigation and the future on the island, which is not to say – sorry, motorcycle passing coming up – which is not to say that we’re not going to see here in the present as well, but those are the two time periods we’ll spend most of our time.

Courtney Vaudreuil: Great, thank you both.

Neil Napier: Right on. Thank you Courtney.

Operator: Your next question comes from Mynda Bullock from Nice Girls TV. Your line is now open.

Mynda Bullock: Hi guys, this is Mynda here. So the music in season one was amazing. It was like another character in itself. Will we see continuation of the creepy, spooky, creative use of music in season two?

Steven Maeda: Yes, absolutely. We are in the process right now on doing a lot of post-work and sound work on the show. And yes, we are absolutely planning on bringing along the musical styling of the first season into the second season.

Neil Napier: Oh good, because I loved that.

Mynda Bullock: I love it too. And every episode, you just look forward – whether you’re going to do it together to freak you out next.

Steven Maeda: We’ve got some good ones.

Mynda Bullock: It’s awesome. So it looks like we’re out with the black goo and in with this yellow funky stuff, huh?

Steven Maeda: Yup.

Mynda Bullock: So what would you rather contract, the NARVIK virus, or the new one?

Steven Maeda: Well they’re both horrible. What do you think, Neil?

Neil Napier: I don’t know. I’d go with – I don’t know, I’d go with Ebola. I’d rather contract Ebola, I think.

No, they’re both pretty nasty. Yes, it’s a whole other world of hurt this year in Helix land.

Mynda Bullock: Awesome.

Neil Napier: Yes, they’re all pretty bad.

Mynda Bullock: OK. So the former Vector King, Peter, is he going to have some major transformations this year? I know he’s like the man with the most baggage. But what else happens? You know can you give us any clues?

Neil Napier: Well, as Steve alluded to, there’s some really – Peter has some really interesting journey in season two. So yes, there is quite of – it is quite transformative for him, let me put it that way.

Mynda Bullock: Oh boy.

Neil Napier: Yes …

Steven Maeda: Yes, take from that if you will.

Mynda Bullock: It’s a great word.

Neil Napier: Yes, it’s a transcendent and transformative experience in season two for Peter.

Yes, there are a lot of twists and turns. There’s a lot of – for everyone in this season. And again, it’s – you know nothing is really ever what it seems. And we’re learning a lot – all the characters are learning a lot about themselves and about the reality they inhabit. So I think it’s a pretty wild ride. You guys are going to love it.

Mynda Bullock: That’s amazing. Thank you so much. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season.

(Inaudible).

Steven Maeda: Yup, we’re excited.

Mynda Bullock: Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from Mary Powers from TVGeekTalk.com. Your line is now open.

Mary Powers: Hi again.

Steven Maeda: Hey.

Mary Powers: I have a couple of quick questions. And the first one, it may be an incredibly stupid question and it may be because I’m a dingy blonde. But this question is related to the music, and actually to the song, Do You Know the Way to San Jose. And I know that in season one, the music from that song was inserted throughout the season, but we actually have the song in the premiere, and actually the title of the episode is San Jose.

Can you just talk a little bit, is there a real significance behind that song? I’ve looked up what that song is about. It was before my time, but I looked it up and it’s actually got some dark stuff in the song. It’s about failure and going back to your hometown. Is anything related to the premiere as far as that song is concerned?

Steven Maeda: There is absolutely, and certainly thematically. I think it plays some interesting questions about going home again and about success in the perils of. But yes, the song is not just randomly chosen. I mean, we definitely wanted to (reprise) it, but at the same time, we wanted this to pay off in a story way, and it will pay off by the end of the season, I promise.

Mary Powers: OK, great. Great.

And then just a final fun question – whatever happened to the White Room and will we be seeing something like the Green Room in the island in season two?

Neil Napier: I love that idea, the Green Room.

Steven Maeda: Fantastic. The White Room is great. I love the White Room as sort of a – you know as a kind of a little clue and a misstep. And yes, we are going to be going all over the (silo). That’s one of those nice things being able to actually shoot a location, not have to – you know manufacture the Arctic every episode. We’re actually going to be out there at this location you know for the entire – you know most of the run as the 13 episodes. So we’re really looking forward to showing all the different parts of that location.

Neil Napier: There are awful lot of rooms.

Steven Maeda: Yes.

Mary Powers: Oh no.

OK, well great. Looking forward then – forward to. And thank you so much.

Neil Napier: Thanks again, Mary.

Steven Maeda: Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from Robin Burks from Tech Times T-Lounge. Your line is open.

Robin Burks: Hi again

Neil Napier: Hey-ya.

Steven Maeda: Hello.

Robin Burks: Actually my question is for Neil. Last season, we did one of these calls with Billy Campbell and he discussed how disgusting your makeup was and how big – you’re sitting in the cafeteria and literally lose your appetite watching you.

What was it like being one of the show’s monsters and do you miss it this season?

Neil Napier: Well, I’m not sure that Peter is not one of the show’s monsters this season, but definitely in episode one, aesthetically he’s not at least.

I kind of miss being the most interesting person on set. (We did not pick up) – people are always like, wow you’re so amazing. I’m like, well actually that’s the makeup guy, but thank you.

But I don’t miss three hours in the makeup chair every day. I didn’t miss that. But last year frankly it was an honor to wear that art every day on set. I felt it was really elegant makeup and I wore it with pride.

This year, I think what is a monster is left a little more to the interpretation of the audience you know what I mean? I think there’s a little more grey zone in that realm of what constitutes a monster.

Robin Burks: All right …

Neil Napier: I don’t know if I answered your question.

Robin Burks: Oh yes.

Well we enjoyed seeing you in the makeup. It was very gross.

Neil Napier: Yes, indeed.

Robin Burks: Actually, keeping with that theme of horror and creepiness that we had in season one, how are you going to maintain that horror going into season two and do you feel like you’ve actually up the ante?

Steven Maeda: Oh yes. We’re – you know we spent a copious amount of time trying to come up with what are the most horrible things that we can actually show on television. But we also want to make them interesting. We want them to feel organic to the story. And yes you know we love to come up with new you know ways to have the – these are the pathogen or other situation (inaudible) of itself, and that’s part of what the show. It’s definitely a horror show, and you know it’s very dark. But at the same time hopefully, darkly funny.

Neil Napier: My wrapped present in the writer’s room was therapy.

Robin Burks: I look forward to seeing it. Thank you.

Neil Napier: Cheers.

Steven Maeda: Thanks.

Operator: Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star then the number one. Your next question comes from Courtney Vaudreuil from Ohsogray.com. Your line is open.

Courtney Vaudreuil: Hi again. For the Coastguard, we know that they are coming back to the island in two weeks. So will the events of this season all occur within that time period on the island, except (Rob, you say our flash words)?

Steven Maeda: Yes, the idea was to do a similar storytelling device what we did last season, which is to use the one day episode structure. And yes, we are flashing to some different places in time. But of the most part, we’re doing that same one day at a time structure. So yes, the plan is that the Coastguard comes back by the end, but they may – perhaps they will be making earlier here.

Courtney Vaudreuil: Great. And for Neil, what can we expect to see as far as the relationship between the Farragut brothers this season?

Neil Napier: We get to see a little more in-depth kind of what makes these two men who they are, and what – you know what the nature of the rivalry between them, where their love stands, where their jealousy stem from. Yes, and we really get – we get to see – yes, really what makes Alan Alan, and what makes Peter Peter from a family of origin perspective, yes, we get really into it. I love the stuff that I’ve got to do with Billy this year.

Courtney Vaudreuil: Thank you.

Neil Napier: Thank you.

Operator: There are no further questions. I’ll turn the call back over to the presenters.

Maureen Granados: Great. Thank you so much everyone. We really appreciate everyone’s time and thanks especially to Steve and Neil for taking the time to do this today.

Neil Napier: You’re welcome. It’s our pleasure.

Steven Maeda: Yes, thank you everyone.

Maureen Granados: Yes. Thank you very much everyone. The transcript will be available in this call within 24 hours. You can look out for that. And otherwise, as you know Helix premieres its second season this Friday at 10:00 on Syfy.

Thank you so much everyone. Have a great day.

Operator: This concludes today’s conference call. You may now disconnect.
