00:00In number, there is one for every life which ever was or ever will be.
00:09And like most lives, they wait for a moment, the moment.
00:14One will be sent on his journey back toward the yellow sun.
00:23And when the sun brings definitive change, it will never again be the same.
00:34Peering in our skies, it is believed to be the prophecy of extraordinary events.
00:43The birth of kings.
00:46The death of emperors.
00:50After centuries or millennia, the journey must end.
00:56Perhaps smothered by its own dust, the dark, soulless body continues eternally through space and time.
01:05It may disintegrate and crumble into inconsequential rubble.
01:14Or it may be lost forever, crashing, burning into the yellow sun.
01:22And tonight as I look into the sky and it looks back on me,
01:28I want to know, which am I?
01:32I need to know.
01:34Is this the beginning of the journey?
01:43Or the end?
02:43Hey, turn them off, man.
03:03Turn them off, your headlights.
03:05It'll take my eyes forever to readjust.
03:07What's so important you need to see out here in the middle of nowhere?
03:10The comet, man.
03:12Look.
03:15Haven't you heard about it?
03:22Brother, the Mariners didn't win that day.
03:24I don't even bother with the news.
03:28Oh, man, you should hear about this.
03:30This is important.
03:31Why is that?
03:33Its scientific name is P1997 Vance and West.
03:39And we discovered it about six months ago, but it's always been there.
03:44Always.
03:46Its orbit is nearly a thousand years old.
03:49The Millennium Comet.
03:51Last couple times around, it could only be seen near equatorial locations,
03:55so all the great civilizations missed it, but it was there.
04:00It was there.
04:03The Mayans saw it.
04:06Just before a plague wiped out half their civilization.
04:10The Sailandra Kingdom saw it.
04:12Just before Tan Quban Pirahu erupted.
04:16Sounds to me like you might be making some of this up as you go along.
04:19Make it up? No, man, no.
04:21It's right there.
04:23Each night.
04:25Appearing in Gemini.
04:27The twins.
04:30Look, look, look.
04:32You can see it has two tails.
04:36Just in time for the year 2000.
04:39That's weird, huh?
04:41You think that's some kind of omen, do you?
04:43Yeah, I know it is.
04:45You see, we're being told that we have a choice in the millennial outcome.
04:50One path or the other.
04:54Oh, look it.
04:56Says the Seahawks can win the AFC West.
05:00That's funny.
05:03Now, son.
05:06What is it you're really doing out here?
05:13I'm just taking some pictures. That's it.
05:17Well, a smart fellow like you ought to know nothing's going to come out of taking pictures of a comet with that thing.
05:22Thanks for the pointer, officer.
05:30I smell bacon. I smell pork.
05:33Run, little piggy. I have a fork.
