The Bodyguard [Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq] #4: "Isabella, look at me. I will find her. I will get her back."

Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq
4th A P P R E C I A T I O N T H R E A D





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.

Because even though he barely speaks we love him so much.
Because he will be a series regular in s3!
Because he conveys so much emotion without speaking a word.
Because he knows when to tell Red how it is.
Because he likes ice cream when he gets the munchies.
Because he puts the safety and needs of others before his own.
Because he is a badass whether he's in action or standing still
Because he's loyal to Red.
Because he will protect Red at all cost.
Because he is brave and can be threatening when he needs to be.
Because he's got the best intentions for everyone.
Because he is not afraid to speak his mind towards Red.

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.

"He speaks four languages fluently and can by on half a dozen more."
"He was left to die chained to a standpipe in the basement of a squalid brothel in Nairobi. Branded. Burned. Barely alive."
"He needed you to get the Fulcrum. He wanted you to discover secrets."

"He was 14 when I found him. Too old. Too tall. Too angry and dangerous."
"Maybe you should stop thinking about it and do it."
"Isabella, look at me. I will find her. I will get her back."

You're welcome. I just needed a better one than the ones that were in the OP and I loved the scene between Dembe and Isabella.

Unfortunately my sling in last nights episode was real. I tore my rotator cuff😡 I'll be back! #Hateinjuries #Dembeloyals #Dembe #TheBlacklist 👊🏿💪🏿✌🏿️

It's really difficult sometimes because he doesn't have to many quotes... But hopefully that'll change at some point.

Oh man... And I was like 'WTH happened with Dembe'. In truth it was Hisham Man, poor guy! But I'm sure he's better already again

I was thinking the same thing when I saw his arm in the sling. I hope it will get better soon, so he won't need the sling anymore.

I really hope he will get more lines so we can have more quotes we can use.

I'm sure it will... In the latest BTS pictures he isn't wearing the sling anymore Which is good! So maybe that's the reason why we didn't get any snowboard pictures before.

But there was one lately!

He went snowboarding again! I wondered if he still did that but that is probably why we didn't get any so far. It's great to see him snowboarding again, doing what he loves.

Miranda, I really think that he didn't go snowboarding because of his shoulder Besides, it was so warm there, such a wild winter, that I'm wondering if they had the same problems like we had in Germany... There simply was no snow in all the winter sport areas. It could have been the same there.

Thanks for the other picture, Miranda

Jo, welcome to the thread!

And yes, Mel, I'm sure the arm injury must have hurt so much

He went to Chili last year to snowboard so he could have gone there but I am sure you are right, that he didn't go snowboarding because of his arm.

He went there? Man, that I didn't keep in mind... See, my memory isn't the best.

Yes. This was a picture he posted when he was over there.

With him having a beard! I remember this picture again but I somehow didn't know it was in Chile. My mistake I guess.
