The Bodyguard [Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq] #6: "I have three people in my life. My daughter, my granddaughter, and Raymond."
X Dembe Zuma is former freedom fighter from South Sudan. He was born the youngest son of Samwel Zuma. When Dembe's father reported a number of low-ranking operatives of a poaching organization to the authorities, the cartel killed Dembe's father, mother and siblings and sold him to human traffickers. He spent eight years in the world of human trafficking and was enslaved until the age of 14, when Reddington found him half-dead and chained to a pipe in the basement of a brothel in Nairobi. Reddington took care of him, nursed him back to health and made sure he got an education. Dembe eventually got a Bachelor's degree in English Literature, learned to speak four languages fluently and learned six others well enough to get by. Dembe has a daughter, Isabella and a granddaughter.
x — q u o t e o f t h e m o m e n t ღ — "I have three people in my life. My daughter, my granddaughter, and Raymond." Episode 4x16
x "You know, twenty nine years ago, in Sierra Leone, there was a farmer named Samwel Zuma, who had the audacity to identify several low level Mombasa operatives to local authorities. The cartel massacred the entire family. All but the youngest son; he was sold to a local ring of flesh peddlers. The majority of children in those circumstances don’t last longer than nine months. He survived eight years. He was fourteen when I found him. Too old, too tall, too angry and dangerous to be of any further value. He was left to die, chained to a standpipe in a squalored brothel in Nairobi. Branded, barely alive, so I took him. Made him well, saw to his education; he graduated university with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature. He speaks four languages fluently and can get by on half a dozen more. He is splendid. His name is Dembe. Dembe Zuma."

Thanks. We just need to update his quote of the moment. I am thinking we should use something that he said to Aram about Red.

Thanks so much for the new thread, Paula
Miranda, you have to look into that missing art/gif or whatever it was above the past and future titles... I can't access the link of the image anymore and the link underneath it doesn't link me to anything Hisham/Dembe related either. __________________

Awesome, Miranda It's so strange that it's gone But it's not that we wouldn't have enough new stuff on him, right?
I really loved Dembe again in this week's episode. He is a great friend, really. __________________

He really was and he says what he thinks now and I really like that. He makes sure that Red knows that he is worried.

No, you totally didn't. It's just that messed up these OP's. I have had it with a lot of OP's already on this board. It's nothing you did Paula.

I don't know what it is either but I hear a lot of boards have this problem.
I am going to check it out tomorrow. Didn't have time anymore today. I still don't know what to use for his quote of the moment? They only important thing what he said about Red to Aram is what we have in the title. __________________

Really? So it's not just our problem, yeah?
Great, I can't wait to see if you find it again I'm at a loss regarding the quote of the moment as well... I don't even recall any amazing one from before these episodes. __________________

No it's not just our problem.
Since I don't know what was above the future titles, I put a gifset of Dembe and Aram in. I added the quote from the title. It's still amazing and there wasn't much else I could use. __________________
