It is revealed that the unit intends to hold Jody until an imprisoned IRA member is released. Jody in informed that if their demands are not met within three days, he will be executed. Assigned to stand guard over Jody, Fergus beings bonding with him and Jody tells Fergus the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog.
Realizing he will most likely die, Jody requests Fergus to promise to seek out his girlfriend Dil. When the deadline set by Jody's captors passes with their demands unmet, Fergus is ordered to take Jody into to woods to kill him. The British army attacks the IRA unit and Fergus manages to escape, believing that his companions have perished in the attack. Fergus escapes to London, taking a job as a day labourer under the alias "Jimmy".
A few months later, Fergus encounters Dil, working as a stylist in a hair salon. Later, they talk in a bar where a drunken customer torments Dil, and Fergus, consumed by guilt over Jody's death, follows the pair rescuing Dil. Fergus soon begins falling in love with her and their relationship progresses but when the two prepare to become intimate in her apartment, Dil reveals her transgendered status while undressing. An initially repulsed Fergus rushes to the bathroom to vomit after hitting Dil in the face and then leaves her apartment. A few days later, Fergus leaves Dil a note in her mailbox apologizing and the two reconcile; despite initially being shocked by Dil's gender identity, he is still taken by her. Around the same time, Jude unexpectantly reappears and tells Fergus that the IRA has tried and convicted him the treason in absentia. She forces him to agree to help assassinate a British judge and mentions that she knows about his affair warning him the IRA will kill Dil if he does not cooperate.
Fergus continues to woo Dil, cutting her hair short and dressing her in Jody's old cricket uniform as a disguise to shield her from retribution. The right before the IRA mission, Dil gets drunk and Fergus escorts her to her apartment where she asks him to never leave her again. Fergus stays with her and admits his role in Jody's death. Dil, drunk, appears not to understand; however, in the morning before Fergus awakens, Dil restrains him by tying his arms and legs to the bed with stockings, leaving Fergus unable to complete the assassination. Holding Fergus at gunpoint with his own pistol, Dil demands that he tell her that he loves her and will never leave her; he complies and she unties him.
Without Fergus present, an angered Maguire decides to proceed with the mission to shoot the judge with Jude. Maguire underestimates the judge's protection and an armed bodyguard shoots and kills him while Jude manages to escape, she vengefully enters Dil's flat with a gun, seeking to kill Fergus for missing the assassination. Dil subdues her and shoots her repeatedly after uncovering her part in Jody's death finally killing her with a shot to the neck. She then points the gun at Fergus, but lowers it, saying that she cannot kill because Jody will not allow her to. Fergus prevents Dil from shooting herself and tells her to go into hiding. He wipes her fingerprints off the gun, replaces them with his own and allows him to be arrested in her place. A few months later, Dil visits Fergus in prison and asks why he took the fall for her. He responds, "As a man once said, it's in my nature" and tells her the story of the Scorpion and the Frog that Jody told him.
