Julius turns himself in to police searching for them; despite being slapped around by an inspector, he refuses to reveal Lauren and Daniel's whereabouts. The two children fall asleep during the film and wake with just a few minutes remaining. Lauren and Daniel run to find a gondola, but most are already taken. They finally find an available gondolier; he takes them within sight of the bridge, but refuses to go further just as sunset arrives because they didn't pay him the full amount. Daniel pushes him into the canal and, as the bells of the Campanile begin chiming, the two pull the gondola by hand along the pilings toward the bridge, enabling the gondola to glide underneath. While the bells are still pealing, Lauren and Daniel kiss and embrace. In the police station, Julius finally reveals the two children's whereabouts, assuming they will have accomplished their goal. After a few days pass, Lauren is preparing to leave Paris for home with her mother and stepfather. Moments before she's about to enter the car to depart, Lauren notices Daniel standing across the street, waiting to say goodbye to her. Her mother quickly objects to his presence, but her stepfather having warmed to the boy, allows her to go ahead and say her goodbyes. Pledging not to become “like everybody else,” Lauren and Daniel share a final kiss and embrace. She looks up and notices Julius waving to her from a nearby bench. She rushes over to greet him. Lauren embraces Julius and she tearfully bids him farewell, then runs back to the waiting car. Daniel follows after her as the car pulls away. They wave to each other for the last time, as Daniel leaps into the air.
