O script para No fim do mundo indica que a maldição permite um dia em terra a cada 10 anos:
Em relação a Jones:
And every ten years...
...him could come ashore...
...to be with she who love him... truly.
Mais tarde, em relação a Will:
This ship has a purpose again.
And where we are bound...
...she cannot come.
One day ashore.
Ten years at sea.
That's a steep price for what's been done.
Depends on the one day.
