"Roosters" is the 16th episode of the second season of the American crime-thriller television series Millennium. It was originally shown on the Fox network on March 13, 1998. The episode was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, and directed by Thomas J. Wright.
Millennium Group offender profilers Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) and Peter Watts (Terry O'Quinn) become embroiled in a growing schism within the Group, prompted by the discovery of the True Cross. "Roosters" is the second half of a two-part episode, continuing the story which began in "Owls".
"Roosters" develops plot elements introduced both in "Owls" and in the earlier instalment "The Hand of St. Sebastian", and would later be followed up by the season's two-part finale. The episode also features the use of operatic music, a decision praised by the show's composer Mark Snow. The episode featured guest appearances by Kristen Cloke, Philip Baker Hall and R. G. Armstrong. "Roosters" received a mixed critical reaction, and attracted 5.4 percent of the available audience during its initial broadcast.
