Based on the events of the film, yes, Dil discovers that Fergus is an IRA member before the end of the movie, although she spends the majority of the story believing he is a simple laborer named "Jimmy."
The revelation happens in stages during the final act of the film. Here are the specific details:
1. The Haircut and the Disguise
As Fergus’s past catches up with him, he realizes that his former IRA associates, Jude and Maguire, are going to use Dil to leverage him into performing an assassination. To protect her, Fergus cuts Dil’s hair into a short, masculine style and dresses her in Jody’s old cricket whites to hide her identity. While Dil is confused by his behavior, she begins to realize that "Jimmy" is involved in something dangerous and political.
2. The Confrontation with Jude
Jude (the female IRA member) visits Dil at the hair salon and makes it clear that Fergus belongs to them and has a "job" to do. This alerts Dil to the fact that Fergus is part of an organized group.
3. The Confession (The Bed Scene)
The definitive moment occurs when Dil ties Fergus to the bed (initially in a playful manner, which turns tense). During this sequence, the truth about Jody’s death comes out. Fergus confesses that he was one of the IRA volunteers who kidnapped Jody. Dil is devastated to learn that the man she has fallen in love with was responsible for the capture and ultimate death of her previous lover.
4. The Shooting of Jude
Before the movie ends, Dil takes Fergus’s gun and waits for Jude to return to the apartment. After learning the full extent of the IRA's actions and Jude's specific role in Jody's death, Dil shoots and kills Jude.
By the final scene of the movie—where Dil visits Fergus in prison—she is fully aware of his history with the IRA, as he is serving time for the crime she committed (the killing of Jude) as well as his own prior involvement.
The summary implies the confession happens *during* the tying scene, whereas it happens the night before (with the acknowledgment happening during the tying scene).
The summary incorrectly attributes Dil's initial realization to a visit by Jude at the salon, obscuring the importance of Fergus's voluntary (though desperate) confession.
Yes, Dil discovers Fergus is an IRA member before the end of the film. She learns this primarily when Fergus confesses to her the night before he is scheduled to assassinate a judge. Although she appears drunk at the time, she reveals the next morning (while tying him to the bed) that she heard and understood his confession about being involved in Jody's death. Later, she confronts and kills Jude (the female IRA member) in her apartment, confirming her full awareness of the group's actions. The film ends with Dil visiting Fergus in prison.
