Johan: Thank you, Nicholas, we’re glad you could come.
Nicholas: Please excuse me for a moment *he exits the throne room and dumps Handy in the dungeon* I have a special task for you, my little blue fortune! *he takes out one large blueprint and puts it on the wall* This will lead to my greatest fortune ever! Build it!
Handy: What?! I’m not doing that! I’ve already smurfed too much!
Nicholas: You don’t have a choice! And I’m not risking you running off and telling anyone about my plan! If you don’t build this right now, then it’ll be your head! Now get to work! *he slams the door locking it shut*

As he returns to the throne...
Nicholas: Uh, your Majesty. I wish to speak to your governess.
Good King: Who, Dame Barbara?

Good King: Er, well, she's busy with the princess at the moment. But, she'll be free to talk to you later.

Nicholas: (to himself) Oh, great. There goes the court jester. (to Good King) I guess I'd better go see where they are. Ta-ta, your Majesty!
So, Nicholas left to find Johan and Peewit. Meanwhile at Homnibus' cottage...

Homnibus: So, a fraudster got his hands on your fellow Smurf?
Papa: Indeed, Homnibus
Edmund: My former boss, Nicholas, it’s all my fault.

Homnibus: Now, don't blame yourself, Edmund. You shouldn't have agreed to get a job with that horrid man in the first place.

Papa Smurf: He just said that so he'll get back at the other inventors for rejecting his ideas.

Homnibus: Yes, after a brief discussion with Papa Smurf, we’ve learned that this Nicholas has a history of making fortunes with his so-called hard work.

Edmund: I have a hard time comparing it to someone else. Is it like the intellectual who doesn't listen to his instructor on doing magic?

Papa: Come, my little Smurfs, we must get to the Good King’s castle.
*but on the way*
Snappy: Papa Smurf, we found Handy’s pencil!

Papa Smurf (surprised): How did you smurf it?
Slouchy: In fact it was Peewit who found it. We had met him and Johan and they asked us to smurf it to you when we had a chance!
Papa Smurf: So it means that Handy is really in the castle with that terrible man!
Edmund (angry): I can't wait to meet that villain face to face and give him a piece of my mind! Besides one or two punches, perhaps...
Hefty (enthusiastic): Now you are talking, Edmund!
(Clockwork buzzes heartily, as agreeing.)

Keep on always smurfin'!!

Snappy: Then what are we waiting for?! Let's smurf Handy and give that meanie a good smurf!
*but upon arriving, the Smurflings suddenly stop when they hear something, peaking through a window, they find something disturbing*
Sassette: Pappy Smurf, come smurf a look at this!

(Meanwhile, Johan and Peewit arrive at Homnibus'.)
Johan: So Papa Smurf was here before?
Peewit: Pity; if we had arrived earlier, we would have joined him and the Smurfs to get that dirty rat!
Homnibus: Oh, I suppose you've ever seen Nicholas, right?
Johan: Yes indeed! He's been using Handy Smurf's work, making the Good King believe he's a talented inventor! We guessed so because both of his little pencil that Peewit found and his blueprints the Good King saw too!
Peewit: I wonder if that scoundrel is in the castle yet?
Homnibus (thoughtful): Hmmm... Maybe. Anyway, let's take a good look in my crystal ball.
(They see Nicholas outside the castle, leading towards the forest and grumbling.)
Nicholas (in the image): I need to find those friends of the Smurfs, the knight and the off-key court jester! My sixth sense tells me they might ruin my plan of becoming famous and rich!
Peewit (furious): Who's off-key, you...?
Johan (intrigued): Curious... He doesn't look to have Handy at that moment! Could you please show if he's in any part of the castle, Master Homnibus?
Homnibus: Right now. (The image of Handy in a dungeon appears, with a big blueprint hanging from the wall. )
Johan (astonished): Good heavens!!
Peewit (furious): Oh, that rascal...

Peewit (anxious): Johan, we need to get Handy out there!
Homnibus: At this very moment the Smurfs must be already in the castle. Better you run, for they'll need all the possible support!!
Johan: That's true. Thanks for everything, Master Homnibus!
Peewit: Yeah, you were quite a help, as usual! 'Bye!
(They mount Bayard and Biquette and rush off.)
Homnibus (waving from his doorstep): Good luck, my friends!

*back at the castle*
Papa: Great Smurfs!
*The Smurfs are surprised by what they find, Handy is in the dungeon with a half finished project, completely exhausted*
Handy: I don't think I can smurf much more...I've already smurfed so much for that fraud...
*before he gets the chance to continue, he gives in to the exhaustion and faints*

Smurfette (anguished): HANDY!!
Papa Smurf (jumping through the dungeon window and reaching the floor where Handy was lying): Quick, my Smurfs, let's smurf him out of here!
Hefty: Right now, Papa Smurf! C'mon, Smurfs!
To the rescue!
(Then he turns to the window and waves downwards where Edmund was hidden and watching everything around while the Smurfs were in search of Handy. The young inventor smiles and raises his hand, making Hefty a positive gesture.)
Edmund: Ah, Nicholas, Nicholas... What you truly deserve is coming sooner than you imagine!
(At the same time, Johan and Peewit arrive at the castle.)
Peewit: Luckily we didn't meet that villain on our way!
Johan: Yes, although I don't think he's able to try something against us. Let's see the Good King now, he needs to be warned about this nasty man.
The Good King (with Dame Barbara by his side): Oh, at last you came! Where were you by the way?

Peewit (a bit constrained): Well... Er... Huh... Better you tell Your Majesty about we found out, Johan. You're much better in this than me!
Johan (rolling his eyes): All right!...
(At the same time, back to outside...)
(Edmund sees a man on horseback leading to the castle entrance and recognizes Nicholas, getting immediately into a panic.)
Edmund (thinking): "My goodness, he's back! And as the Good King trusts him now, he may well tell him more lies... No, not again!! I really have to stop him!"
(Before Nicholas could enter, Edmund throws himself at him, making the villain dismount and fall onto the drawbridge, under the guards' startled looks.)
Nicholas (taken by surprise and dizzy with the fall): Edmund?!
Edmund (furious and grabbing him by his tunic collar): Yes, that's me, Edmund, your useless servant, whose work was never good enough for your greed! But now it's time to pay for all the harm you did to me and my friends the Smurfs, you scoundrel! (Starting to punch Nicholas hardly) This is for me! And this is for Handy and the Smurfs! And this, for lying to the Good King! And also...
(At last the guards realize to take an attitude. They separate the two and take both to the captain of the guard.)
Captain (staring at Nicholas ironically): Well, well, if we haven't met before! (To Edmund) And you'll have much to explain about all that aggression, young man. Take them to the King!
