However, when the ship strikes an iceberg, she decides that this is the result of the curse on the statue, and asks Nick to kill her, instead. The statue remains in Nick's custody until 1995, at which time he is sure that meeting Natalie and her treatments to cure him are the working of the Black Buddha, bringing him his heart's desire. However, when his partner, Don Schanke, is killed in an airplane crash caused by a bomb, Nick is racked with guilt, sure that the curse on the statuette has caused Schanke's death. Nick later tells Natalie that he will fly the statuette out over the ocean and drop it in, so that it will meet its fate at the bottom of the ocean as it should have when the Titanic sank.
