Page "The Crying Game" Paragraph 4

Fergus still suffers from guilt about Jody's death and sees him in his dreams bowling a cricket ball to him.

He continues to pursue Dil, protecting her from an obsessive suitor and gradually falling in love with her.

Later, when he is about to make love to her in her apartment, he discovers that she is in fact a pre-op transwoman.

His initial reaction is of revulsion.

Rushing to the bathroom to throw up, he accidentally hits Dil in the face, leaving her with a nosebleed.

He then leaves the apartment.

A few days later, Fergus leaves Dil a note, and the two make up.

Despite everything, Dil is still attracted to him.

Around the same time, Jude unexpectedly reappears in Fergus ' apartment.

She tells him that the IRA has tried and convicted him in absentia.

She forces him to agree to help with a new mission to aid in assassinating a well-known official.

She also off-handedly mentions that she knows about Fergus and Dil, warning him that the IRA will kill him if Fergus does not co-operate.
