14. The Visitation (3:27)
[Father:]
I’m down here on my knees
Feeling the weight of shame
How could I have done this
To you, my son?
[Prodigy:]
I can’t believe my eyes
Is it really you?
Why should I forgive you
After all you’ve done?
[Father:]
I was driven and blind
Not so unlike yourself
We can still work together
If you allow me
[Prodigy:]
Why should I give you a chance?
Why should I trust you now?
Ha… I bet you are helpless
Without me
[Father:]
If we join our minds
Then together we can do this
[Father and Prodigy:]
We both want to be the first
We both want to change the world
[Father:]
We can work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is
[Father and Prodigy:]
We’ll solve this mystery
Be a part of history
[Prodigy:]
I’m so damn close
[Father:]
I’ll fill in the blanks
[Prodigy:]
I could use a hand
[Father:]
Just give me this chance
[Prodigy and Father:]
For we’re on the verge of a breakthrough
[Father:]
The meds help me not to sleep
[Prodigy:]
It's too late to stop now
[Father:]
I'll take just a few more
[Prodigy:]
Just 'til the answer is found
[Prodigy and Father:]
We can make it,
We'll find the truth
Let’s join our minds
It’s our destiny to do this
We’re going to be the first
We’re going to change the world
We’ll work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is
We both know we’ll never sleep
'Til we make this quantum leap
We are in this way too deep
I’m down here on my knees
Feeling the weight of shame
How could I have done this
To you, my son?
[Prodigy:]
I can’t believe my eyes
Is it really you?
Why should I forgive you
After all you’ve done?
[Father:]
I was driven and blind
Not so unlike yourself
We can still work together
If you allow me
[Prodigy:]
Why should I give you a chance?
Why should I trust you now?
Ha… I bet you are helpless
Without me
[Father:]
If we join our minds
Then together we can do this
[Father and Prodigy:]
We both want to be the first
We both want to change the world
[Father:]
We can work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is
[Father and Prodigy:]
We’ll solve this mystery
Be a part of history
[Prodigy:]
I’m so damn close
[Father:]

We both know we’ll never sleep
'Til we make this quantum leap
We are in this way too deep
