[music fades]

[Cody]
That's my dad, Mickey Ferrera.

He makes records. Hit records.

Which you've probably heard.

Especially if you're his age.

You know,
when people danced really weird?

I mean, come on,
just look at his hair!

['80s-style pop music playing]

Some of his songs might
even be your life soundtrack.

Although he hasn't made one
that good in a long time.

["I Ain't Got Nobody"
by Jim Thacker playing]

But he keeps trying,

hoping for
that certain magical epiphany.

Personally, I think
it's the band he's producing.

[Emerson shouting] Motherfucker!

- Let's go!
- [man] Fuck you!

[overlapping yells]

[clattering]

What the fuck is this?

[Seth]
Spies from the record label.

What started it this time?

- [Emerson screams] Fuck--
- [tambourine clattering]

Somebody stole
somebody's cookies or drugs

or drug fucking cookies,
I mean, these fucking guys, I--

[Emerson] Shit!
You're drunk-- Stop-- Fuck you!

So you guys warmed up,
you wanna try one?

[Emerson yelling]

Yeah, sure.

Okay, let's do it.

[drum sticks

Sounds great, guys.

- We're so fucked.

We are fucked.

[jaunty instrumental playing]

[Brian] Nice. Atta girl!

Looking good!

So good up there,
that's good, nice and relaxed.

[Cody] My sister
Jennifer has a passion.

Horse riding.
Actually, two passions.

The other one

is the horse trainer.

[Mickey] Brando looks good.

Dad, why are you here?

Don't you have
stuff to do for tonight?

I told your mom
I'd drive you home.

I don't finish till 5:00.

I can wait.

[Brian] She's really
coming along, Mickey.

I mean, Mr. Ferrera.

If she keeps this up,
she'll have Olympic scouts

swarming all over her.

As long as it's the only thing
swarming all over her.

Right.

Well, okay, uh, I should go,
cool Brando down now.

- Dad, I can take care of myself.
- Don't doubt it.

Besides,
if you didn't work so much,

maybe he'd get to see more
of how I'm actually doing.

I know, honey, but Brando
might get a little teary-eyed

if I was forced
to stop earning a living,

and you had to
say goodbye to him.

I'll see you later?

- Olympic scouts, huh?
- [Jennifer chuckles]

Not bad, kid.

[horse neighing]

[melancholic
instrumental playing]

[Cody] That's my mom, Sofia.

And I know what
you're thinking, so stop it.

And then there's me,
Cody Ferrera.

[Sofia] Cody,
I made you a snack, honey.

[Cody] My two passions,
my beats and my drawings.

[Sofia] Cody!

[Cody] Actually,
there's a third.

[techno beat
playing over record player]

I am starving.

Wow, look at you.
You look great.

You got a hot date tonight?

[giggling] Come on.

It's your father's and my
19th year anniversary tonight.

Oh, you mean you guys
actually hang out?

Well, he is running late,
as per usual.

[motorbike engine roaring]

Oh, gotta go. Give me a kiss.

[Seth over phone] Hey, boss, uh,

they're still debating
about whose songs to rehearse.

- What should I do?
- [Mickey] Leave!

And lock them in.

Soon they'll realize
how important this album is

when they can't go home
or buy more booze and drugs.

[phone beeps]

[soft piano
instrumental playing]

Everything okay?

I just found out from the label

that they're
getting a new A&R guy.

This might be
the last album I get to produce.

But, hey, you and I
started with nothing,

so going back there wouldn't
be such a big deal, right?

Mm.

[engine rumbles]

[Cody] My dad had
this big surprise dinner

arranged for Mom,
but like the poet says,

"The best-laid plans
of mice and men often go awry."

["Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"
by Mozart playing]

I think
we should talk about Cody.

He's been
quiet again lately, and--

[phone ringing]

- I'm getting worr--
- [phone keyboard clattering]

Mickey, if you could
just put your phone aside

for five seconds
while we talk about our son?

Geez, if I had a dollar for
every call and text you made,

I would be a very wealthy woman.

Well, you are
a wealthy woman, you have me.

Come on, Sof,
this is our special night.

Can't we just have a little fun?

Tonight
shouldn't be any different

- when it comes to our kids.
- And it's not.

The kids are our life,

and I think
we've done a great job.

Give me your hand.

Listen, I promise
I'll talk to Cody, okay?

But tonight's our anniversary.

To 19 glorious years,
and to 19 more.

[footsteps approaching]

Hello, sweeties!

Behold Lucy the Magi.

How about a little dinner trick?

You've got to be
kidding me, Mickey.

What? I didn't set this up.

No, he didn't. Indulge me.

Think of a card, Sofia.

And yet she knows my name.

[Lucy] Psychic. Any card.

Am I feeling
a little pushback here?

Think of a card, girl.

Think of a card.

♪

Mickey, right?

Can you flip over a bill?

Slowly.

Was it a seven of hearts?

Not even close.

Was it a seven of diamonds?

Was it the seven of clubs?

Yeah, it-- it was
the seven of clubs.

That's amazing.
How'd you do that?

[Lucy] Lucy the Magi, sweetie.

Now, make two fists,
and stretch it over the table.

What's in your right hand?

I think my work here is done.

Mickey, what are you doing?

I just want you to know
that after I finish this album,

- I'm taking my beautiful wife...
- No, no.

...and our two wonderful kids

on a trip
to a faraway exotic island.

Where we'll spend
a week, a month, a year,

whatever your heart desires.

Honey, no.

I want us to renew
our wedding vows, Sofia,

right here, right now.

Before these
lovely strangers and God

I want us to recommit
to our sacred eternal marriage.

Just stop!

[Mickey] What's wrong, baby?

[gulping]

[panting]

I want a divorce!

[crowd murmuring]

Cody? Jennifer.

I'm sorry Mickey.
But we're done.

[melancholic
guitar instrumental playing]

Anyone ever tell you
your body's built to surf?

You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine, we're great.

And you're drunk.

We're trying to stay busy,

and pretend
the very fabric of this family

isn't being torn apart.

Where's your mom?

Back room.

[footsteps departing]

[knocking on door]

Sof, can we talk?

I don't want to talk.

Just tell me why.

Is it me? Is it the work?

I can change all that.

No, it's not just that!

Is it someone else?

Sofia, you gotta tell me.

Where are the kids?

They're on the couch.

Are you okay, Dad?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

It's okay,
it's okay, guys, it's all right.

- You guys okay?

You hungry?

[Jennifer] Dad, it's 1:00 A.M..

Ugh.

Hey, Emerson, how's it going?

If you don't get over here soon,

and open this fucking door,

I'm gonna piss all over your
fucking beautiful vintage board.

Then I'm gonna take a groupie
on that motherfucker, okay?

Not only that, you locked
us in with Robby Krieger!

Hey, no big deal, man.

Back in '69,
they locked us in here,

the four of us,
and it worked out pretty good.

Hey, we're The Doors, man.

Shit.
Robby Krieger's in my studio.

[gloomy instrumental playing]

You know, it's a fact
that when divorces happen,

more often than not,

the children become
a bargaining tool.

I'm fine with that.

Please don't let that
happen to Cody.

I promise
I won't let that happen.

I love you both way too much.

That's for damn sure.

- No, when?
- Well, I thought it.

You're my older brother, bro.

I look up to you.
I kept it to myself.

You said you were hungry, bro.

Yeah, well, I lost my appetite

when it suddenly
dawned on me that I'm 55,

and I'll have to
start my life all over again.

Mick, you're
such a drama queen, bro.

Look at me, you wanna
know my schedule for today?

Let's see, uh,
I'm gonna go surf.

Get some waves to my head.

Run a training session
for a trophy wife client.

Stop by for a massage
and a happy ending.

And no "Honey, do this"
from some ball and chain.

Hey, don't talk
about Sof like that.

The woman
who just humiliated you

in front of
all your friends, family

and a whole restaurant
full of strangers?

The woman who wants a divorce?

And probably all your money?

Bro.

As your only sibling,

and on occasion,
"conscience mirror,"

I'm gonna be
brutally honest with you.

You need
to get a lawyer, and fast.

You are kidding yourself

if you think for one second

that little Sofia
hasn't already hired,

the biggest,
bestest, great white shark

[Mickey sighs]

You know this is all

because they have
that extra gene we don't.

That's why they live longer.

Lawyer up. And man up.

This is not a public restroom!

Go walk down-- Get out!
Get the fuck out of here.

We need to fight
fire with death!

[bouncy marching tune playing]

[cackling madly]

Whoo!

I'm not gonna lie to you, bro.

Divorce is
a full-contact sport, huh?

[breathing heavily] Oh, man.

And there are people
that would do anything,

and I mean anything to win.

Anything!

So here's the drill, all right?

Stay active
in your kids' lives, right?

Pay less.

File for full custody.

Get a male judge
that's been wronged by a woman.

God knows, I know
a couple of those, right?

Pay less!

Whoo!

Oh, then you take
the kids shopping, right?

You make them
spy for you, right?

Mama's little
dirty secrets, huh?

What do you think?
We catch Mama drinking, huh?

What do you think?

Oh, better yet!
Oh, she's eyeing the pool boy.

That's a home run
for us, brother!

Woo! We're gonna win this thing.

And you're gonna pay less.

[laughing] Whoo! Whoo!

That's a home run for us, man!

[whistle blowing]

When do you want to get started?

[Mickey]
Are you really a lawyer?

[tense instrumental playing]

Why do you ask?

Well, it's just--
Uh, I don't see any law books.

Do you know
who I used to represent?

The Del Duca family back east.

Do you know who they are?

They're one
of the five families.

Google them.

Now, you need
to leave emotion at the door.

My job is to intimidate,

decimate and accumulate.

I'll save your fortune,
and get your kids.

When you say decimate,
what exactly does that mean?

[lawyer laughing]

It's Mickey, right?

You don't want to know, Mickey.

The fuck?

- [gong resonates]
- [harp instrumental playing]

I've been
married for over 20 years.

My high school sweetheart.

Truth be told,
it hasn't always been easy.

I mean, there have been
times that we struggled.

Even talked divorce.

But somehow, we always
found ourselves back to harmony.

Kept our family together.

So, my first goal
is to help you explore

all the possibilities
to save your marriage.

This could include things
like counseling or therapy.

Sometimes,
a marriage can't be saved.

And in that case,

when divorce
becomes unavoidable,

mm, in those instances,

I will become
your fiercest advocate.

And I will also strive

to keep things
from turning ugly.

And also,
so there's no negative impact

on your children.

Monty!

Come swim to Mama.
Come on, come on.

Swim to Mama. Oh, that's my boy!

[laughing] My swimmer.

I'm $400 an hour,

and I'll need a $35k retainer.

- Can I call you Mickey?
- Sure.

I have a question
for you, Mickey.

Do you think Sofia
loves you enough

to fight for this marriage
like you will?

That's a good question.

Honestly, I don't know.

Let's find out.

At $35k, we better.

[chill background music playing]

Jesus. Look at those guns.

Think he's a model? Or an actor?

Maybe he's just
happy being a bartender.

No one who looks that good
is happy just being a bartender.

I mean, I was a bartender.

I was happy.

And then you became a wife,
and now you're unhappy.

[laughing] Come on!

We're in paradise,
drinking wine,

using our
husband's credit cards.

Cheers.

Come on.

Jennifer hates me.

She thinks I'm going to
ruin everyone's lives.

Ah, She's a kid.
She'll get over it.

Uh, maybe, but what about Cody?
You think he'll get over it?

- I don't think so.
- Okay, listen.

You got this one life.

And by the time you were 25,
you already had two kids,

and you were married to this man

who was or is a workaholic.

Now it's your time.

You got to live
a little, just for you.

Yes, that's why
I'm doing this, right?

- To live a little?
- Yeah.

Question is, at what cost?

That's what happens
when you marry an older man.

- I tried to tell you.
- I loved him.

Just got married
a little too young.

That's all.

Oh, bartender!

- Two shots, please.
- [Sofia] Ugh.

Thank you.

Extra practice. Yes.

Well, back East, we might say
it's the right call.

Not funny, Mr. Ferrera.

Okay, so what's next?

Fortunately, Kevin's family

Charges?

That kid's got
60 pounds on Cody.

And considering Cody
has no prior offenses,

we won't expel him.

But I feel a one-week suspension
is appropriate.

A week, really?

That's it? A week's suspension?

Can I go now?

Cody's never acted out before.

Fuck!

["Clair de Lune"

Yeah, well, first
it was a restraining order,

then she's sleeping
with Stable Boy,

now it's divorce papers.

It's the next
logical step, Mickey.

She did ask you for a divorce.

This is just
tangible proof of that.

[speaking other language]

[Kristen] Okay,
I found out who her lawyer is.

He's a pirate named
Bill Stabile.

So, he's asked
the court for a lean

on your bank accounts,
property holdings, tax records.

So I suggest
you get your finances in order

before he gets his hands on 'em.

Should also consider
your lifestyle

and your sleeping
arrangements, okay?

I mean, staying
in a suite at a five-star hotel

doesn't look good right now.

I've worked my whole life
to get where I am,

and I can't stay
in a damn hotel, why?

Because it makes me
look what, indulgent?

[speaks other language]

[Kristen] She's right.

Whoever she is.

Okay.

Now that the pennies
are being counted,

you'll have to start
making support payments.

I ran some preliminary numbers,

and the figure is going to be

somewhere in the region
of about $10,000 a month.

What? Ten grand a month?

[Kristen] Listen to me, Mickey.

In light of the divorce papers,
we need to give a judge

every opportunity to start
looking at you

in a favorable light.

A favorable light?

Now I need to be
a favorable light.

Anybody know
what that looks like?

[laughter]

To a favorable light!

He was a year older than me.

Real good looking dude.
Great football player.

All the girls liked him.

We were both
big Rolling Stones fans.

Every time
they released an album,

I would buy it and we'd hang out
at mine or his.

I even taught him
how to play guitar.

But I was a little confused,
to be honest.

I mean, I didn't know
if I was attracted to him

because he was so popular,

or just because I liked him.

Anyway, he moved away.
I started dating girls.

But we all have our moments.

Sometimes they're fleeting.

And some last a lifetime.

Have you told your mom?

No.

I figured I'd tell you first.

That's why I'm here.

I remember you used to take me
here all the time as a kid.

So what's next?

that's when fate
knocked on the door

to remind us about real life.

♪

[Judge] In light
of the respondent's behavior,

including a DUI
and public displays of anger.

And considering the respondent
neglected both his parental

and custodial duties
on the day in question,

I find I have no choice
at this time

but to award complete
and sole custody

of the children
to the petitioner.

If the respondent
wants to be a parent again

in his children's lives,

he will have to enroll
in anger management counseling.

And after attending
the anger management counseling,

the court will decide
whether or not

you are to see
your children again.

See my kids again?
What does that mean?

It means, Mr. Ferrera,

that you are not to go
within 100 feet

of your children
without supervision.

And, that you shall not have
any contact with them

until the court has decided

that they can be safe
in your company.

- This case is dismissed.
- [gavel bangs]

A hundred feet from my kids.
I hope you're happy!

Get your hands off me!

Mickey!
Sit down, sit down.

I'm fine.

[exhales sharply]

I just spoke to the judge.

You are so lucky
that she's not going to

hold you in contempt of court.

- Are you okay?
- Am I okay?

I can't see my kids
unless it's supervised.

Meanwhile, I'm paying
my wife $10k a month

so she can buy
her boyfriend a new car.

You can see your kids, Mickey.

You just have to follow
the court's rules.

Could my life get any worse?

What do I do now?

I think you know.

Oh, great. [sighs]

He wants me to get in touch
with my inner animal.

[chaotic rock instrumental]

[Mickey] How long
do I have to do this?

[chuckling]

Until your brain juice settles

and your melon is calm.

You all brought
your inner animals.

I see that.
I appreciate that.

Now, Angus, Panda,
what's your problem?

Sometimes I dread going home.

Why?
Is your apartment too small?

No, going home to my parents,
in Washington State.

They hate me.

Because I'm an artist?

They're bankers.

I like bankers.

Can I stop now?
My melon's tired.

Sit.

[Angus]
Where are you going, Angus?

Sometimes
I think about killing them

and using their blood

- to paint my canvas.
- Hmm.

Jesus Christ.

[maniacal laughing]

I'm kidding.
They're already dead.

My brother killed them.

[maniacal laughing]

This is nuts.

Stoned hippies, serial killers.

God knows why she's here.

I like cigars.

I'm here because
I tried to castrate someone.

Of course, I didn't succeed.

We're friends now.

He asked me out on a date.

That's it. I'm done.

Mickey.

This is only the first step.

Yeah, well, zoom me the rest.

Oh, Mickey.

[waves crashing]

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

You haven't been drinking,
right?

No, Kristen.

And you haven't beaten up
anyone lately, have you?

I want my family back!

Damn it. Piece of shit.

Not today.

Look, Jonathan thinks

you've made
just a great breakthrough.

Uh, you know, just by talking
with such honesty...

[sighs] ...it's a really
good start, Mickey.

Who the fuck is Jonathan?

Your shrink.

Oh you mean the guy
made me look like a zebra?

I'll see you at the mediation.

Don't be late.

[knocking]

Oh, fuck.

What's up, Frosty?

I let you down.

I should have
kept my eye on things.

I didn't, and I screwed up.

I'm really sorry, man.

Where the hell
did you get a suit?

Turns out one of my students'
husbands is about the same size.

I gotta return it before
he gets back from New York.

[chuckling]

And it didn't come with shoes.

[sighs and chuckles]

Thanks for being here,
my brother.

[phone ringing]]

Seth, what's up?

Shit!

I'll be right there.
And Seth, don't let him leave.

I got an emergency.

I need you
to head over to the mediation.

And do what?

Stall them.

[whispering] Aww, fuck.

Sofia!
Sofia!

Sofia!

Everyone's a fool at some time
in their lives, honey.

Let's go.

Sofia!

Sofia!

[Mickey] What's going on, guys?

Emerson just left the band.

That's what's going on, buddy.

What? Why?

It's been
a long time coming, bro.

Come on, brother.
Not today.

[Emerson] This is just
not working for me anymore.

We're washed up, man.

There goes 20 years, man.

Look, my kid made these beats.
You gotta listen to them.

We can blend these with your
sound and make this work.

- I'm telling you.
- Mick, Mick, Mick.

It's just a bunch of noise, bro.

It's not about
the sound or the beats.

We just lost the juice.

Sorry, boss. We're done.

Fuck.

Hey, Mickey.

For what it's worth,
I like the beats.

Lord Byron was considered to be
the preeminent romantic poet

who lived a life of debauchery
and sexual ambiguity.

- So what do you think about it?
- Hey, butt boy.

How's your sexual ambiguity?

- Alex laughs]
- I heard you and Eric broke up.

You gonna write a poem about it?

- [laughter]
- Aw.

Did-- did you ever try
to kill yourself

because of the boy you love?

[both laughing]

[teacher] [indistinct]

[restrained music playing]

Whoa.

[screaming] Fuck this!

- [snickering]
- [Cody] [muffled] Fuck!

[Cody] And then,
sometimes the demons win.

Fuck!

And you're left with one
choice.

Fall into the abyss.

♪

There's a kid on the roof!

[excited chatter]

It's not looking good
for your client, Kristen.

- Oh!
- [Sofia] Bobby?

Hey Sof. What's up?

Where's Mickey?

And where are your shoes?

Shoes interrupt our connection
to the earth. [scoffing]

Mick's, uh,
had a bit of an emergency.

It's not a big deal.
He'll be here in a minute.

I'm just gonna sit in for him.

So, uh,
you're the beach bum, right?

You've been talking
to your wife, right?

Come on, let's do this.

[engine rumbling]

[sirens wailing]

[Jennifer sobbing] Cody! Cody!

[indistinct]

You happy?

Put your damn phone away!

[distant sobbing]

[engine rumbling]

[tense music playing]

Cody, I'm coming up there!

Don't try and stop me!

I'm sorry, Mr. Ferrera,
you're not allowed.

Going up on the roof
is against school rules.

Fuck your rules.
That's my son up there.

Uh, Mrs. Ferrera
would like all the artwork

and the vacation home
in Amsterdam.

Are you serious, bro?

My brother built that
houseboat with his own hands.

Your Honor, he built an entire
houseboat with his bare hands.

- Wow.
- Bro, you don't have to get

all literal about it, all right?

He drew the plans.

I never asked for the houseboat.

Yeah, it's on the list
of properties.

You drafted this
yourself, Sofia.

I wasn't thinking straight.

Yeah, you got that right, Sof.

Sofia.

Wait, wait.
Where do you think you're going?

Don't, Bobby!

Everything that happened here,
I didn't mean for any of this.

- Then why did you do it?
- Fear.

I did everything out of fear.

- Fear?
- Yeah.

Including the affair?

He saw me.

He noticed
when I got my hair done.

He could tell
when I was wearing perfume.

We would sit down
and have a meal together.

When is the last time I had
a meal with your brother, huh?

He's busy locked in his studio
for 15 hours a day!

You think I give a shit?

And he comes home with fancy
bags from his trips for me.

Big fucking deal.

[sobbing]
He's married to his work.

He does it for you.

Yeah?

Well, it sure is working,
isn't it?

[quietly sobbing]

I met him...

when he was different.

I was different.

I'm a human being.

I need my husband back.

I miss my husband.

[sobbing]

I miss Mick.

[cellphone chiming]

What's that?

I gotta go.

Where are you going?

[Mickey] Hey, buddy, it's dad.
I'm right here.

I'm coming closer, okay?

[Cody sniffling]

Do you want
to step down from there?

We'll talk about whatever it is
that's bothering you.

[sobbing] You can't fix it.

You tried, Dad,
but I just don't fit in.

I never will.

[Mickey]
Who said you had to fit in?

You know how many people
go through life

never discovering what's really
going on inside them?

I don't care about other people.

I just don't want to be
made fun of anymore!

People will be cruel when
they don't understand something.

It's not your fault.
It's their weakness, not yours.

[sobbing loudly]

[screaming] I hate people!

[Sofia] Cody!

Cody!

[Sofia and Jennifer] Cody!

- [Jennifer] Mom?
- [Sofia] Cody!

[Jennifer] Mom?

[Jennifer sobbing] Mom!

Cody, please don't do this!

Please don't do this!

[Jennifer] Cody.

Look at all that love
around you.

It's like
that drawing of yours,

the one of the boy in the sky

and the angels fighting
over him to protect him.

You understood that?

Of course I did.

I'm your dad.

You got so much going for you.

You know what?

- Listen to this.
- No.

- Listen to this!
- [Cody sobbing]

[electronic beats]

[Jennifer sobbing]
Please. Cody please.

These are your beats.

You came up with them.

I played them for the band
and they loved them.

And I'm going to
use them in a song.

And I think
it's going to be a hit.

But more importantly,
you took your pain

and you put it
into something positive.

That's what artists do.

That's what you do.

You said it was just noise.

Yeah, well, I was wrong.

And I'm going to use them.

But I can't do it
without your help.

So what do you say?

Want to help
save your old man's career?

[sobbing]

[excited applause and cheering]

[touching instrumental playing]

I got you, I got you.

[exaggerated kissing noises]

[Sofia giggling]

I can't really breathe.

- [Jennifer giggling]
- Yes, you can.

- No.
- [giggling]

He's some guy,
that brother of mine.

[warm acoustic
guitar instrumental]

Hey.

I don't want Jennifer quitting
something she loves so much.

She's not going to quit riding.

She's learned
a lot from you recently.

About love.

We all have.

You can have it all, Sof.

I don't want anything.

All I want is to see my kids
and to be there for them.

I felt I was losing you.

That we were losing each other.
And I wanted to hurt you.

Because you haven't been
there for me.

You wanted to hurt me
for working.

So you had an affair?

Yes. No, I mean--

would fix everything.

Of course, I was wrong.

I lied to myself.
