"Who?" is a short film and long-form commercial for AMC's The Walking Dead produced by Fox Premium Latin America.
Synopsis[]
A down-on-his-luck hitman hired to assassinate Norman Reedus from AMC's The Walking Dead.
Plot[]
A man named Michael is playing sudoku, when the lights go out. Michael looks over his electric bill and finds it is past due. He then goes to sleep that night in the dark.
The next morning, while working his job at the dry cleaners, Michael gets a call from a man and meets them at a diner. The dealer hires him to assassinate Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead, with the reasoning being his wife portrays a zombie extra in the show and has been trying to eat Daryl since season one, leading him to believe that she's in love with him. He offers Michael $40,000 and his car to do the job.
Michael drives to Mexico, where Norman will be having a fan premiere in one week. In order to prepare, he binge watches The Walking Dead. At first, he is disinterested, even falling asleep during the beginning, but after Reedus' character Daryl comes on screen, he slowly starts to become invested in the series.
Michael begins prepping for the assassination, planning his position and buying a sniper rifle, however he also takes a Daryl coat pin and a miniature crossbow. Michael then goes to a hotel where he finds Norman signing autographs for fans. He follows him to the bathroom and has a friendly interaction with him.
After getting emotional from watching Daryl's emotional breakdown in "Coda", Michael prepares the next morning to take out Norman. He heads to the vantage point and aims his rifle at Norman as he steps out of vehicle, however when Norman looks back at him, he can't bring himself to pull the trigger.
He meets with the dealer at the diner and refuses to do the hit, handing him back his money and keys and shoots the dealer in the foot with the mini crossbow he bought, warning him to stay away from Daryl Dixon.
