The script is based on the widespread urban myth (started in the early '90s) surrounding the claim that Russian scientists in Siberia had drilled so deep that they had broken through into 'hell' and recorded the 'screams of the damned' emanating from the borehole. This claim turned out to be a hoax spread by a Scandinavian prankster who wanted to demonstrate human gullibility. However, by the time he owned up to the prank, the myth had fueled such a following, that his retraction was interpreted as an attempt to cover up 'the truth'.

"Jennie Christianson: I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I've seen what can happen when people abandon reason... you could get seriously hurt. You're a good man... but there's no point in having thick armour on the outside if your own worst enemy is within."
"Thomas 'Jack' Jackman: You know, when I was a young boy... my mother told me that the sun was driven around the world in a chariot drawn by four horses and a wizard sprinkled the stars on the roof of the sky. Jennie Christianson: My mom told me the sun is one of a hundred billion in the galaxy, which is one of a hundred billion in the universe and that some starlight has traveled since before dinosaurs were on the earth... and in it's journey right here, right now. That's not a mystery, that's a fact. Thomas 'Jack' Jackman: Oh... don't you think that sounds a little clinical? Unemotional? I mean... the math takes away the poetry, sense of a hope. Jennie Christianson: Not for me, science only adds to the wonder of a sunset and everything else in the world. I don't see how it can take away. Thomas 'Jack' Jackman: What about love? Jealousy? Jennie Christianson: Phenylalanine. Thomas 'Jack' Jackman: Phenywhat? Jennie Christianson: A chemical the brain produces when you fall in love... and there's dopamine and norepinephrine. Thomas 'Jack' Jackman: So the greatest of all human emotions can be broken down to a... chemical compound. Jennie Christianson: The greatest music on earth can be reduced to notes on paper... but I can still be moves by it."
