The finale features the decisive battle between Cardo and Task Force Agila against Renato, Arturo, Lily, and their forces, aiming to avenge the victims of their crimes and end their oppressive rule.

Plot

Cardo Dalisay and Task Force Agila find refuge in the northern provinces while their adversaries — First Lady Lily Hidalgo, Secretary Arturo Padua, Defense Secretary Renato Hipolito, Black Ops commander Albert de Vela, and drug lord Lito Valmoria — continue to pursue them, including through ongoing terror-tagging efforts. After recovering from the coma induced by Lily, President Oscar Hidalgo escapes from the palace with help from his friends Elizabeth and Ambo to warn Cardo of the conspiracies against them. Lily and Renato deploy separate teams in search of Oscar, who has been replaced at the palace by Mariano, an unwitting decoy.
Albert and the Black Ops, acting under Arturo's supervision, continue their operations against high-value targets. When Albert fails to capture Cardo, Arturo grows impatient. Albert later forms an alliance with Lito to eliminate their drug trade competitors. Renato, meanwhile, plans to allow an international drug syndicate to operate in the Philippines if he becomes president, while Lily intends to undermine Renato's ambitions in the upcoming elections. Their rivalry escalates into a struggle for political control.
Armando, together with his wife Lolita and daughter Mara, seeks to kill Don Ignacio Guillermo, a powerful businessman and political figure behind the deaths of several farmers. Cardo and Agila are later discovered by local police at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, leading to a shootout. Amid the chaos at Hotel de Oriente, Armando's group encounters Agila, and they appear to form an alliance after Don Ignacio is seemingly killed. However, Armando secretly intends to betray Agila for the bounty on Cardo.
Don Ignacio survives but is critically injured, prompting the arrival of Aurora, Oscar's first love, from the United States. Ignacio's estranged brother Eduardo becomes primarily concerned with their family's wealth. It is later revealed that Mara is the biological daughter of Aurora and Oscar, and that Armando and Lolita had trained her to kill Ignacio in retaliation for the death of their own child. Fearing exposure, the couple plans to kill Mara. They also attempt to eliminate Agila, but the group escapes with help from Lucas, one of Armando's men, while Delfin is captured and tortured.
Cardo is later injured during a clash between Renato, Arturo, and Lily, and Black Ops brings him to a hospital under Lily's orders to keep him alive. Lito attempts to kill Cardo himself, but Cardo ultimately defeats him, prompting Lily's anger. After recovering at Ramona's camp, Cardo returns to Armando's hideout, where he discovers Armando's betrayal. Delfin sacrifices himself to allow Cardo time to fight back. Armando and Lolita escape before their mansion is later destroyed by Cardo and his group. The couple subsequently strengthens their alliance with Lily.
Oscar and Senate President Camilo Edades begin exposing the crimes and abuses committed by Lily, Renato, Arturo, and their associates, allowing Oscar to return to power. Task Force Agila is reinstated, and previous allegations against them are dismissed. Lily, Albert, Armando, and Lolita retreat to a secluded manor, "Tierra del Diablo," where they plan a final counteroffensive. Renato forms an alliance with warlord Lucio Santanar, a former member of Pulang Araw, to pursue their own campaign of violence. Lucio and his paramilitary group launch bombings and attacks targeting civilians and public institutions. When Arturo refuses to cooperate, Renato kills him in an explosion. Lily also betrays her foreign allies during a meeting, killing them after eliminating guests at the manor.
Agila's next mission is to apprehend Lily, Albert, Armando, Lolita, and Renato. In the ensuing operations, their forces are eliminated, ending their influence and activities.
Renato and Lucio initiate another plan involving the abduction of several high-profile figures, including a cardinal, a judge, a banker, a journalist, and a senator, and broadcasting threats from Lucio's headquarters. They also reveal their intent to take revenge on Cardo, Oscar, and Agila.
Agila prepares for a final confrontation with Renato, Lucio, and Eduardo. Several members — James, Dante, and Marsial — are killed by Lucio's men. Victor is also killed by Renato after murdering Eduardo, who tried to assault Roxanne, who is also later killed. Jerome and Rigor are accidentally killed in friendly fire by Ramil and Patrick after being disguised by Lucio's group. During Cardo's confrontation with Lucio, Lucio reveals his involvement in prior bombings. Cardo kills him in combat. Renato and his remaining men continue their assault, resulting in the deaths of Diana, Greco, Billy, Ramil, and Patrick, who sacrifice themselves to help Cardo and Oscar escape. Oscar ultimately kills Renato, ending his campaign of violence.
Oscar honours the fallen members of Task Force Agila with a vigil, state funeral, and Catholic memorial service. Cardo is promoted to Police Major for his service, but he later decides to retire and return to his family in Botolan. Oscar later marries Aurora. Cardo eventually encounters Mara, who has survived, hinting at a hopeful new beginning for both of them.
