Given that The Walking Dead could apparently run for two decades, main character and perennial fan favorite Rick Grimes is probably in no immediate danger of dying—but that evidently hasn’t stopped the actor who plays him, Andrew Lincoln, from dreaming up his epic demise. At PaleyFest in Los Angeles, the star laid out his ideal death scene—and we must admit, it’s a potential plot twist we did not see coming. The actor’s comments were previously published, but we finally have video of the whole thing—and truthfully, there’s nothing better than seeing Lincoln, the cast, and Greg Nicotero laugh their way through Lincoln’s bonkers odyssey.

First, the actor sets the scene: “We’re going through the desert somewhere, and I jump off the bus.” It’s a very heroic act, Lincoln explains. “Rick jumps off [and yells] ‘Carrrrrlll!’“ Lincoln continues, as the audience erupts with cheers and laughter. “Maybe that’s the last thing I say!”

But the action doesn’t stop there: “I jump off, and I’m, like, kung-fu kicking. You know, earn my action figure, right?” Lincoln says. “Halfway through, I get bit. ‘Ow!’ Doesn’t matter; keep going; ‘Carrrrrlll!’ . . . I’m dying, on my own, just waiting to die. I wait, and I patch up, and a day passes. . . But I don’t die. The final shot is, ‘Holy shit! Maybe I’m the cure!’ Final shot of the whole thing: high shot, herd of zombies coming. Rick gets up, follows the tracks to go see ‘Carrrrlllll!’ High shot of this, walking—the herd comes toward him, and they separate. He walks through. BOOM!”

So, although the actor said at PaleyFest that he was laying out how he wanted his character to die, it seems he’s actually more interested in a final twist in which Rick becomes a sort of Zombie Moses. We’re into it—especially if he yells “Carrrrll!” that many times.
