- If a meteorite worth many times its weight in gold lands in someone's apartment, who owns it? The tenant, the landlord, or the government? Meanwhile, Damien is tried for the death of Judge Dinsdale and Stanton isn't defending him very well.—A Dude Named Dude
- Franklin and Bash feel passed-over as Karp can't accept them handling his charge for murdering judge Dinsdale, as Stanford insists to defend his cousin. Instead they go after a share of the priceless meteorite which landed in Denny Kresge's room disputed by his landlord, but seized by a government-contracted company as crucial evidence to predict asteroid impacts on earth. Rachels scolds them for settling for a modest percentage and suggests basing the claim under federal law on Denny's part Indian blood, which implies bribing the tribe with a share and discredit the opponent. Although told-off, they investigate Karp's golf accident crucially.—KGF Vissers
- Open with the firm talking about who will handle the case of a business owner who had a large meteorite crash though his business. They are incredibly valuable and the key will be for the man, Denny Kresge, to beat out his landlord for the claim. Infeld tells the room Karp cannot be considered since he's been charged with Dinsdale's murder.
Infeld bails Karp out. He tells his uncle that Dinsdale walked directly into his backswing. The other member of their foursome, Josh, has told a judge that Karp threatened Dinsdale's life. Karp hit Dinsdale twice, thinking he had hit a branch during the swing.
Franklin and Bash tell Karp they want to help him, but Infeld has told him he wants to keep the case "in the family."
The guys play bowl at Denny's alley and invite him to roll with them after his league breaks up. The guys tell him the nature of his lease means he should be able to get ownership of the rock. He agrees to meet with them when Franklin offers a lower commission percentage.
In court a golf teacher demonstrates how Karp's unusual golf swing could result in two blows to the head of a person standing behind him. In response opposing counsel presents an affidavit that Dinsdale had walked behind him at least five separate times during the round, meaning Karp should have known he might be there. The motion to dismiss is denied.
The guys tell King about retaining Denny. She isn't happy about the percentage they gave up and tells them to work quickly.
Denny tells the guys about his life and it sounds somewhat depressing. A Dr. Stefan Hall shows up at the guys' place and confiscates the meteorite citing the Homeland Security Act.
Infeld and King tell Karp that their clients have expressed concern over how Dinsdale's murder could impact their treatment by judges. King has worked out a deal where Karp pleads to reckless endangerment and does community service. Karp says he isn't interested.
The guys tell Denny the government has the right to confiscate his rock to make sure it is not related to terrorism. They are keeping it for "further research." Denny tells the guys he's part Native American and this gives King an idea.
After speaking with the country club owner with Carmen, Karp learns that Josh could not have been in the cart with Infeld at the time he hit Dinsdale. He must have seen the incident.
King's plan is to go after the meteorite under a law that helps protect Native American artifacts. The guys don't love the idea, but King is insistent. The attention the rock is bringing Denny has him inclined to go along with the strategy.
Denny and the guys visit the tribal chief in order to become a member of the tribe. The chief is concerned he'll be exploiting the tribe in order to profit on the sale of the rock. The guys offer a portion of the meteorite sale to the tribe and low their commission once again. The tribe accepts the deal on the condition Denny remain on the reservation and complete tribe rituals.
The guys ask Infeld to let them help with Karp's case. He declines and asks them for the samurai sword he had given them.
Carmen meets with Dr. Hall pretending to be a fan of his work looking to work for him. Hall blows her off, but one of Hall's competitors tells Carmen that Hall's contract with Homeland Security ends at the end of the month and his company will go under without it.
The guys confront Josh at his country club, charging that he's not coming forward about Karp's innocence because he wants the same judgeship. But it turns out Josh has taken a position with a private company and was actually nowhere near Dinsdale when he died. Infeld, in fact, was in position to see what happened.
Karp challenges Infeld for not coming forward. Infeld responds that Karp saw him do nothing to help Dinsdale, almost as if he was waiting for him to die. Karp deal has been repealed and Infeld has been subpoenaed.
The guys tell Karp they'll take over his case.
In court Denny testifies to what meteorite means to his tribe. The chief believes the rock symbolizes a message from Denny's father to do something with his life. Opposing counsel points out that Denny only started connecting with his Native American heritage when he needed help getting the rock back. Carmen arrives with information for the guys. Hall testifies that the rock is important is determining when a future strike might occur. Franklin cross-examines Hall and mentions that perhaps Hall needs the valuable rock for when his company folds. But the judge tells the jury to disregard.
In court Karp motions for change of counsel because Infeld has been subpoenaed. Franklin and Bash walk through the door and immediately call Infeld to the stand. After Bash questions him about his relationship with Karp the judge allows the change. After seeing how much Infeld seems to hate his nephew, the assistant DA agrees to drop the charges.
Under threat of having the tribe protest at his company, Hall signs a document agreeing to give Denny a small piece of the rock.
In trial the guys put Hall back on the stand and point out that he needs to have the entire rock for his research. The fact he agreed to give up even a piece of the rock indicates he isn't concerned with research.
The guys win Denny's case, but King isn't thrilled to learn they're only getting 1 percent. Then Denny shows up and says he's donated the rock to his tribe.
Karp tells Infeld he's "literally killed my only chance of becoming a judge." The two appear to be on good terms.
