‘Stick’ Exclusive Clip: Pryce Conspires To Turn Zero Into Cyrano In Sneak Peek At Episode 5

Four episodes into Stick and the conspiring has just begun!

In an all-new DECIDER exclusive clip from the Apple TV+ series, Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson) is working to put his plan with Santi (Peter Dager) into full effect and looking to Zero (Lilli Kay) and Mitts (Marc Maron) to help execute the plan. It was back in Episode 1 where Pryce — a washed-up former pro-golfer — found Santi hitting long drives with precision and accuracy. In fact, the only thing Santi struggled with was (and still is) humility.

Now, after placing at the top of the leaderboard time and time again in his first rounds on the green professionally, Pryce is focused on keeping Santi level-headed. Enter Zero, Santi’s new caddy, who Pryce wants to have act as a puppet for Santi, keeping him from going too big, messing up, and then struggling with his confidence. Rinse, repeat.

“Santi’s going to want to club up. He’s going to want to use a wood when he should be using an iron. Alright, he makes bad choices,” Pryce tells Zero as Mitts interjects, “Oh, that’s rich coming from you, this whole plan is a bad choice.”

Wilson’s character then redirects his energy back to Zero, reminding her that while Santi may be a hard-headed teenage boy who thinks he is god’s gift to earth, she has the ability to get him back on track as he listens to her and trusts her.

“When we need to dial him back in, you’re going to be my mouthpiece, our Cyrano de Bergerac,” Pryce says in the clip.”Another way of saying it is, you’re going to be our Zero-no de Bergerac.”

“No, that’s a rough pun,” Zero responds with a half-smile on her face, “that’s bad.”

At this point, everyone in the show — minus Santi’s mom, Elena (Mariana Treviño) — is in on the undercover plan to nudge Santi in the direction that they want. Really, they’re manipulating him to try and get the biggest prize pots during each competition, hence why Elena is not in on it. Will it work though or will Santi see right through their attempts? We’ll have to see when Episode 5, “The Birdie Machine,” drops on Wednesday.

The first four episodes of Stick are currently streaming on Apple TV+.
