'늪지: 젖은 발의 모험'

 

"부엉이가 날개를
퍼덕이며 울었다"

 

"밤은 늦고
동물은 너무 많다"

 

"소녀는 당연히 겁을 먹겠지"

 

"악어가 놀고
개구리는 살찌고"

 

"들쥐가 부엉이 왕에게"

 

"문 여닫히는 '끼익' 소리로
노래 부르는 곳"

 

"그곳에 귀여운 소녀가 살았고"

 

"아이들은 그 소녀를
'젖은 발'이라 불렀다"

 

"황갈색 눈과
금발 곱슬머리의 소녀는"

 

"늪지가 좋은 곳이
아니라는 걸 알고 있었다"

 

마쉬

 

클레어
꿈이 강해지고 있어요

 

이제 그만 피해요

 

치료를 시작하는 게 중요해요

 

약은 먹고 있습니까?

 

효과가 없어요

 

더 심해지는군요

 

최면 치료를 해보죠
준비는 됐어요

 

인재일까요?

 

지구 온난화의 결과일까요?

 

웨스트모어랜드의
숙박시설에 가보세요

 

사냥꾼과 조류학자의 수가
현저하게 줄었습니다

 

이유가 무엇일까요?

 

푸른날개명금은
지난 여름부터

 

모습을 감췄습니다

 

예전엔 풍요로웠던...

- 클레어 씨죠?
- 오셔 부인?

 

머시라 불러요
이쪽은 하이디예요

 

로즈 마쉬 농장에
잘 오셨어요

 

이 계절엔
손님이 많지 않아요

 

여기가 응접실이에요

 

장작은 저쪽에 있죠

 

따뜻할 거예요

 

사용법도 간단하니
벽난로도 쓰세요

 

여름엔 사진작가와
조류 관찰자들이 많이 와요

 

따라오세요
위층을 보여드리죠

 

- 작가시라고요?
- 네

 

아주 조용할 거예요
공간도 넓죠

 

그건 장담해요

 

여긴 주 침실이에요

 

시트는 옷장에 있어요

 

여기가 작업실이죠

 

여긴 맨빌 가문과
로즈 가문 사람이 많아요

 

저건 '아저씨'라 부르죠

 

저쪽이 늪지군요

 

저긴 피하는 게 좋아요

 

길 잃기 십상이거든요

 

저 찾으려면 시내 가는 길
첫 번째 집으로 오세요

 

"부엉이가 날개를
퍼덕이며 울었다"

 

"왜 소녀는 한밤 중에
늪지에 왔을까?"

 

"밤은 늦고
동물은 너무 많다"

 

"소녀는 당연히 겁을 먹겠지"

 

얘기는 어떻게 지어내죠?

 

"만약"이란 질문을
던지는 거야

 

'슈퍼 마켓'

 

- 죄송해요
- 아뇨

 

- 못 봤어요
- 괜찮아요, 죄송해요

 

- 괜찮으세요?
- 네

 

안녕하세요

 

네

 

노아 피트니 예요

 

동네가 작으면 그게 좋죠

 

부딪히는 사람마다
인사할 수 있거든요

 

- 그렇지, 어니?
- 그래

 

- 클레어 할로웨이예요
- 반가워요, 할로웨이 씨

 

19달러 50센트입니다

 

제가 낼게요
시골 인심 잘 아시죠?

 

어니, 오늘 밤에 게임 있어

 

- 알았네
- 그때 보자고

 

참, 이것도 계산에 넣어

 

- 이거 받아요
- 전 괜찮아요

 

어서 받아요
전 읽었거든요

 

이 동네를 좀 아셔야죠

 

편집자의 논점도 독특하죠

 

당신과의 인터뷰도 원할걸요?

 

- 관광객이 그렇게 없어요?
- 전 조카만 셋입니다

 

스타 동화 작가가 오셨는데

 

당연히 특종감이죠

 

영광이네요

 

싫으세요?

 

인터뷰는 사양할게요

 

또 빙고 우승자나
인터뷰 해야겠군요

 

- 편집자세요?
- 네

 

글도 좀 쓰죠

 

작년에 한 권 냈어요

 

겨우 250권만 찍었지만...

 

- 저도 처음엔 그랬어요
- 그럼 저도 희망이 있군요

 

알았어요

 

혹시 필요한 게 있으면...

 

신문 뒤에 있는 번호로
전화 줘요

 

잘 가요

 

만약...

 

만약, 만약, 만약...

 

시골도 살만하네요

 

맞아요
고마운 말씀이네요

 

저도 한땐
주요 일간지에서

 

전국을 무대로
기사를 쓴 적이 있었죠

 

어쩌다 여길 왔죠?

 

희한하죠?
다신 안 돌아온다 맹세했는데

 

편집자 자리가 나서

 

필립 맨빌이 제안했을 때
그냥 수락했어요

 

돌아올 때가 된 것 같았죠

 

제 농장과 말도 있거든요

 

여기도 괜찮은 인생이에요

 

자, 완벽하진 않지만
쓸만할 겁니다

 

- 어니를 잘 아세요?
- 평생을 알았죠

 

- 쭉 거기 살았나요?
- 네, 왜요?

 

가야겠군요

 

그만하면 됐어

어디든 있잖아요

 

네, 그렇겠죠

 

책 잘 읽어요

 

돌아와!

 

뭔가 잊으셨나요?

 

뭐 깜빡 하셨냐고요

 

아뇨

 

'강가의 공터'

 

안녕하세요

 

여기요

 

안녕, 클레어

 

안녕하세요

 

폭풍 때문인가요?
괜찮아요?

 

전 괜찮아요

 

당신 책 샀어요

 

누군가 했네요

 

마을 역사가 재밌더군요

 

더 알려드릴까요?
교회 빠지고 싶거든요

 

부탁해요

 

맨빌 남자 학교는
1800년대 후반에 폐교됐고

 

웨스트모어랜드 초등학교는

 

지난 세기 초에
문을 열었죠

 

소녀들도 가르치다니
괜찮은 동네였네요

 

제가 그 학교를 아는데

 

차라리 집에 있는 게
더 좋았을 겁니다

 

- 무섭네요
- 새 책 소재로 좋겠죠?

 

조카에게 '늪지'를 읽어줬는데

 

솔직히 좀 오싹하더군요

 

명작 동화는
원래 다들 어두워요

 

그림 형제, 이솝
로알드 달까지

 

흑사병이 뿌리인
동요도 있어요

 

어두운 늪지대의 괴물이라니
소름 돋네요

 

원래 동화와 동요는

 

어린이의 잠재 공포를
자극하는 이야기죠

 

애들은 놀라는 걸
좋아한다고요?

 

안 그랬나요?

 

이 집에 대한 얘기는 없나요?

 

소름 돋는 얘기요?

 

삐걱대는 벽, 꽝 닫히는 문
휘파람 소리의 바람...

 

작가들이란...

 

이렇게 합시다

 

내일 저녁 먹으면서
다 얘기해줄게요

 

'제프리 헌트'

 

플라츠, 앉아!

 

조용히 해

 

- 원래는 겁쟁이예요
- 속을 뻔했네요

 

- 제프리 헌트 씨죠?
- 헌트예요

 

- 다들 헌트라 부르죠
- 클레어 할로웨이예요

 

이렇게 짖어댄 건
정말 오랜만입니다

 

짖는 이유는 하나뿐이죠

 

그래요?
이유가 뭐죠?

 

- 유령 냄새를 맡아요
- 네?

 

저 세상에서 온
냄새라고 보면 됩니다

 

유령은 안 믿어요

 

저도 마찬가지죠

 

앞장 서세요

 

이 집이군요

 

- 와보셨나요?
- 3년 전에요

 

그레이스였던가요?

 

- 머시예요
- 맞아요

 

심령 전문가인데
유령을 안 믿으세요?

 

난 사람을 믿어요

 

사람은 물과 에너지예요

 

물은 얼음, 수증기
안개로 변하고

 

변할 땐 에너지를 쓰죠
사람도 같아요

 

머시는 무슨 일이었죠?

 

좀 놀랐을 뿐입니다
이상한 소리를 들은 거죠

 

이런 현상은 사람을 타요

 

보이고 싶은 사람에게만
모습을 보이죠

 

왜 저일까요?

 

그건 클레어가 알죠

 

여기 있었나요?

 

입구군요

 

입구요?

 

유령이 통과하는 곳이죠

 

컴퓨터도 잘 쓰이죠
일단 그냥 둘게요

 

문은 언제 달았죠?

 

며칠 됐어요, 왜요?

 

문의 반대편은

 

상징적인 뜻과 실체를
동시에 의미하죠

 

문을 부수는 건

 

누군가 건너오는 걸
막는 겁니다

 

그럼 문을 다시 달면...

 

다시 초대하는 거죠

 

에너지가 늘어난 건
확실합니다

 

- 왜죠?
- 인간은 원래 이상해요

 

죽으면 더 이상해지죠

 

근데 왜 이런 데
신경을 쓰죠?

 

전 봤으니까요

 

이 집에 오기 전부터
그 소녀를 봤어요

 

상대가 누군지 압니까?

 

차원이 달라요
현실의 법칙은 안 통하죠

 

난 7년 전
아내와 딸을 잃었어요

 

답을 찾으려 했지만
찾을 수 없었죠

 

고민해보세요

 

저승의 대답을
찾으려 하기 전에요

 

이승이 훨씬 편할 겁니다

 

시내에 모텔이 있소

 

차라리 거기로 가요

 

굳이 덤빌 필요 있나요?

 

절 '헌트'라 부르시던
아버지가 하신 말씀이 있죠

 

항상 거리를 두셨거든요

 

'헌트, 징병을 피하거나
탈세는 봐줄 수 있지만...'

 

'고통 받는 여자를
무시하는 건 안 된다'

 

어서 시작합시다

 

그들이 제게
뭘 원하는 거죠?

 

모릅니다

 

하지만 원하는 게 뭐든

 

그건 당신이 갖고 있어요

 

상상이 돼요?

 

클레어가 본 걸
머시가 봤다면

 

지금쯤 이름을 바꾸고
이민 가서 살 겁니다

 

거기 잠깐 서볼래요?
잠깐이면 됩니다

 

사진이 잘 받네요

 

헌트도 보면 좋겠네요

 

유령이 사진발 가리겠어요?

 

찍을 수 있습니다

 

어디서 자랐죠?

 

여기저기요

 

아, 군인 자녀인가요?

 

- 아뇨
- 조금만 마셔요

 

부모님이 선생님이세요

 

부모님 원래 고향은?

 

친부모는 아니에요

 

몇 살 때 입양됐죠?

 

- 8살요
- 그래요?

 

참 예쁜 아이였겠죠?

 

거짓말은 말아요
귀여운 아이였죠?

 

어느 날 갑자기 확 변해서

 

지금처럼
예뻐진 건 아니잖아요

 

부모님은 차 사고로
돌아가셨어요

 

그렇군요

 

올 사람이 있나요?

 

- 안녕
- 노아, 미안해요

 

- 연락을 깜빡 했네요
- 무슨 일인데요?

 

헌트, 노아, 인사해요

 

헌트가 절 도와줬어요

 

- 잘 있었나, 피트니?
- 안녕하세요

 

맞춰보죠

 

지난번에 말했던
이상한 일 때문인가요?

 

난 장작이나 더 가져올게요

 

약속 못 지켜서 미안해요
미뤄도 될까요?

 

나도 여기 남아서

 

주술 거는 거 도와줄게요

 

도움은 필요 없어

 

알았어요

 

저도 저녁 약속을
기대했는데...

 

저도요
괜찮아요

 

다음에 약속 잡으면 되죠

 

행운을 빕니다

 

- 또 봐요
- 잘 가

 

헌트, 일어나요

 

헌트!

 

넌 누구니?

 

이름이 뭐야?

 

말 좀 해줄래?

 

"The big old owl flapped his wings
and yawned.

 

It's much too late
and too many creatures about.

 

She will surely get a scary fright.

 

Where the alligators romp
and the frogs grow fat and orange...

 

...the field mouse sings
to the owl kings...

 

...with a voice
like a squeaky door hinge...

 

...there lived a girl
who's sunny sweet...

 

...and the children
call her Sticky Feet.

 

With almond eyes
and golden curls...

 

...she knew that swamps
are not for girls."

 

Claire, the dreams
are getting stronger.

 

All I'm saying, Claire,
is you gotta stop avoiding it.

 

It's time we started to really deal
with this. It's important.

 

Are you taking your medication?

 

Doesn't help.

 

It's evolving.

 

I'd like to try hypnosis, a change.
We're ready.

 

Is this a man-made problem...

 

...or possibly the result
of global warming?

 

Check into any inn or
bed-and-breakfast in Westmoreland...

 

...and you'll notice a serious decline
in hunters and birdwatchers alike.

 

But is it from their own doing?

 

The blue-winged warbler
hasn't been seen here...

 

...since last summer
in Westmoreland County.

 

Perhaps this once-flourishing...

 

- Claire?
- Mrs. O'Shea.

 

Mercy, and this is Heidi.

 

Welcome to Rose Marsh Farm.

 

We don't get too many guests
this time of year, so...

 

Here's your living room.

 

There's wood and kindling
over there.

 

Should keep you warm.

 

The fireplace is working.
It's pretty straightforward.

 

We get photographers
and birdwatchers in the summer.

 

So if you'll follow me,
I'll show you the upstairs.

 

- You're a writer?
- Yes.

 

Well, you'll have lots of peace
and quiet, and plenty of space.

 

I can guarantee you that.

 

This is the master bedroom.

 

There's extra linen in the closet.

 

And here's the studio.

 

The Manvilles and the Roses
settled the whole area.

 

We call him Old Mister.

 

And that's the marsh.

 

Yeah, I'd steer clear of that,
if I was you.

 

You can get lost in there
pretty quick.

 

If you need anything, I'm the first
house on the way into town.

 

"The big old owl flapped his wings
and yawned.

 

What is a girl doing
in a swamp at night?

 

It's much too late
and too many creatures about.

 

She will surely get a scary fright."

 

How do you make up your stories?

 

I start by asking the question,
"What if?"

 

- Oh, sorry.
- I'm sorry.

 

- I didn't see you.
- It's all right. I'm so sorry.

 

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

 

All right, well, good morning,

 

Good morning.

 

Noah, Noah Pitney.

 

That's the great thing
about being from a small town...

 

...is you can introduce yourself
to anyone you bump into.

 

- Right, Ernie?
- That's right.

 

- Claire Holloway.
- Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Holloway.

 

Nineteen fifty, miss.

 

No, no, no, allow me, please.
This is country manners in action.

 

Ernie, I just want to remind you
there's a game tonight.

 

- Got it.
- I'll see you then.

 

Oh, and please, put this on my tab.

 

- This is for you.
- You don't have to do that.

 

No, please, take it.
I've already read it.

 

Help you get accustomed
to the town.

 

Editor's got some
pretty eccentric views...

 

...but, say, I bet he'd love
an interview with you.

 

- You really that short on tourists?
- Come on, Claire, I have three nieces.

 

"Star children's author
hits Westmoreland."

 

That's pretty big stuff around here.

 

I'm flattered.

 

But?

 

But I think I'm going to pass.

 

That's all right. I'll just have
to interview yet another bingo winner.

 

- You're the editor.
- I am, yeah.

 

Also the local historian.

 

Actually, I brought out
a book last year.

 

I only, you know,
only printed 250 copies, but...

 

- That's what my first one was.
- Really? So there's hope for me.

 

Okay.

 

Listen, if you need anything...

 

...my number's on the back of
the paper, if you wanna call me.

 

Bye.

 

What if...?

 

What if, what if, what if, what...?

 

I could get used to
this country living.

 

Yeah, well, I can...
I can appreciate that.

 

I remember there was a time
when I covered crime...

 

...for all the big dailies
all over the country.

 

How did you end up here?

 

It's weird. I always told myself
that I was never gonna come back.

 

And then the editor's job came up...

 

...and Philip Manville asked me
to do it and I said yes...

 

...and I guess it just felt right
to come back.

 

You know, I have my farm
and got a horse.

 

And it's good. It's a good life.

 

There. It's not perfect, but it'll work.

 

- You know Ernie well?
- All my life.

 

- He's always lived here?
- Yeah. Why?

 

I should go.

 

That's quite enough of you,
Sticky Feet.

 

Ernie, have we met before?

 

I don't think so.

 

They say the same face can turn up
on different people. Isn't that so?

 

Yeah, I guess so.

 

Enjoy your book.

 

Get back!

 

You forget something, Claire?

 

Did you forget something, miss?

 

No.

 

Hi.

 

Morning.

 

Good morning, Claire.

 

Good morning.

 

Was it the storm? You okay?

 

Yeah, I'm fine.

 

I bought your book.

 

So you're the one.

 

Fascinating history this place has.

 

Listen, you wanna find out more,
I'll take any excuse to skip church.

 

Please?

 

So the Manville School for Boys
closed its doors in the late 1800s...

 

...and the Westmoreland
Elementary School opened...

 

...at the beginning
of the last century.

 

How nice of the county
to invite the girls out to play.

 

From what I know
of the boys' school...

 

...the girls might have been
happier at home.

 

- Scary.
- Good fodder for a new book.

 

I just read The Swamp
to my niece...

 

...and I gotta tell you,
I found it quite creepy.

 

All the great children's books
are dark.

 

Brothers Grimm, Aesop,
Roald Dahl.

 

"Ring Around the Rosy"
was about dying from the plague.

 

Scary monsters in
the deep dark marsh. Oh, scary.

 

Fairy tales and nursery rhymes...

 

...tap into the primal, subconscious
fears of the young mind.

 

So you're saying that all kids
like to be creeped out.

 

Didn't you?

 

You ever hear any stories
about this place?

 

Like what, like creepy ones?

 

Creaking boards, slamming doors,
whistling winds...

 

You writers.

 

I'll tell you what.

 

I'll tell you everything that I know
over dinner tomorrow.

 

Platz! Platz! Platz!

 

Platz. Platz.

 

- Normally, he's a pussycat.
- Could have fooled me.

 

- Are you Geoffrey Hunt?
- Hunt.

 

- Everybody calls me Hunt.
- Claire Holloway.

 

He hasn't blown his top like that
in a long time, Claire.

 

Only one reason he does that.

 

Oh, yeah? What's that?

 

- He smells a ghost.
- What?

 

Think of it like vapors
from the other side.

 

I don't believe in ghosts.

 

Neither do I.

 

I'll follow you.

 

So this place, huh?

 

- You've been here before?
- Three years ago.

 

What was her name? Grace?

 

- Mercy.
- Yeah.

 

So you're a paranormal consultant
who doesn't believe in ghosts?

 

I believe in people.

 

I mean,
people are water and energy.

 

If water can transform from ice
into steam, into mist...

 

...and energy transforms them,
why can't people?

 

What happened with Mercy?

 

She got a little spooked, that's all.
Noises and such. Nothing major.

 

These kinds of energies
can be very particular.

 

They can reveal themselves
to one person and not to another one.

 

Why me?

 

You tell me, Claire.

 

He was in there?

 

Port.

 

Port?

 

It's the access point for them
to come in.

 

The computer's another good one.
I'd leave that off for now.

 

How long has this been here?

 

A couple of days. Why?

 

On the other side...

 

...doors can be both symbolic
and literal at the same time.

 

Taking one down...

 

...can be a way of stopping someone
from coming across.

 

So when you put the door
back up...

 

You're inviting them back in.

 

There's a definite increase in energy.
That's for sure.

 

- But why?
- People are weird.

 

They die, they get weirder.

 

Question is, why do you care?

 

Because I've seen...

 

I've seen that little girl before,
and not just in this house.

 

Do you have any idea
what you're dealing with?

 

It's a different world.
They don't play by your rules.

 

I lost my wife and my little girl
seven years ago.

 

I went looking for answers.
I never found them.

 

So you need to think about that...

 

...before you go looking for answers
on the other side.

 

You wanna be amongst the living,
trust me.

 

There's a motel in town.

 

If I were you, I'd check in to it.

 

Why make this your battle?

 

My father used to say, "Hunt"...
He called me Hunt.

 

He could be rather impersonal,
my father.

 

He'd say, "Hunt, you can dodge the
draft, you can cheat on your taxes...

 

...but never desert
a damsel in distress."

 

Let's get this party started.

 

What do they want from me?

 

Don't know.

 

But one thing's for sure.

 

It's you that they want it from.

 

Can you imagine?

 

Can you imagine,
if Mercy had seen what you seen...

 

...she'd be living in another country
under an assumed name.

 

Can you stand there for a second?
Just for a second, please. Thank you.

 

You are very photogenic.

 

I hope you can see them too.

 

Unless they're camera-shy...

 

...we'll get them.

 

So where did you grow up?

 

All over.

 

Oh, you're a military brat, huh?

 

- No.
- Little sip.

 

No, my parents were teachers.

 

Where they from originally?

 

Well, they weren't my birth parents.

 

Well, how old were you
when you were adopted?

 

- Eight.
- Eight?

 

I bet you were a pretty little girl,
weren't you?

 

Don't lie.
You were a cute one, weren't you?

 

Unless you just sprouted up
all of a sudden...

 

...and became just
what you are right now.

 

My parents were killed
in a car accident.

 

I see.

 

You expecting someone?

 

- Hey.
- Noah, I'm sorry.

 

- I should have called you.
- Why? What happened?

 

Hunt, Noah.

 

Hunt's been helping me.

 

- How's it going, Pitney?
- Hello.

 

Let me guess.

 

This has to do with those
creepy things you were talking about.

 

I'm gonna go
and get some logs for our fire.

 

Sorry about dinner.
Maybe we can do it another night?

 

You know what I can do is
I could stick around...

 

...and help you with this scance
or whatever.

 

We don't need any help.

 

Okay.

 

I was looking forward
to having dinner.

 

Me too, but it's okay.

 

You know, we can do it
another time, right?

 

Good luck, good luck with this.

 

- I'll see you around.
- Later.

 

Hunt. Hunt.

 

Hunt!

 

Who are you?

 

Can you tell me your name?

 

Can you tell me something?
