The third season of Ang Probinsyano shows Ricardo Dalisay's married life and how he is thrust back into the police force to battle rebels. After an ill-fated mission, he goes undercover and infiltrates the rebel group Pulang Araw to uncover the mystery of who is the true ally and who is the real enemy.
Plot Cardo and his family move into another house to start a new life following his resignation from the police force. Meanwhile, a rebel group named Pulang Araw wages war against the military to fight for their noble cause.
Unbeknownst to them, Alakdan's group betray the Pulang Araw although they are backed-up by an unknown corrupt government official and agree to set off bombings in Manila, resulting in the untimely death of Ricky Boy, Cardo's son. Driven by the need of justice, Cardo goes back to his duty and becomes a SAF officer. However, after a deadly mission almost wipes their entire group, Cardo infiltrates the Pulang Araw and goes undercover.
As Cardo (posing under the name Fernan) joins various missions of Pulang Araw, his perception about the rebel group quickly changes, realizing that their public image is based on lies and carefully concocted smear campaign by Director Hipolito a treacherous and wily ex-Pulang Araw member. Back in Manila, the propaganda stories about Cardo and Pulang Araw confuses Cardo's family, negatively affecting their lives. Rumours spread about Cardo’s survival and supposed defection to Pulang Araw, a story which Director Hipolito (John Arcilla) and Major Catindig (Sid Lucero) capitalize to destroy Cardo's credibility, blow his cover and jeopardize his safety. At the camp, Cardo also has to deal with comrade rivalries arising from Alakdan (Jhong Hilario) and a jealous Anton del Mundo alias "Tigre" () (Mark Lapid), both intent on discrediting Cardo or exposing him as a fraud.
After determining and knows the secret that Pulang Araw is not behind the acts of terrorism, he tries to win the trust of Alakdan to infiltrate the Kamandag faction of Pulang Araw. In the meantime, he discovers that dela Paz (Ejay Falcon) and Velasco (Louise delos Reyes) are held captive and helps them escape from the hands of Pulang Araw. He tells them of his discovery that Kamandag is protected by an unknown government official who is twisting facts to demonize Pulang Araw. Velasco and dela Paz realize that Kamandag's protector is also discrediting Cardo. They hold a press conference reporting Cardo’s death while trying to escape from Pulang Araw with them to ensure his cover.
Cardo wins Alakdan's trust and sends him to Manila to eliminate Director Hipolito's fiercest rival in the senate race, Senator Mateo F. de Silva (Joko Diaz) by detonating a bomb among the crowd just before de Silva announces his candidacy. Cardo manages the disruption without detonating a bomb and narrowly escapes de Silva and his men. The following day, Cardo assaults Kamandag to avenge the death of his son, sending a wounded Alakdan and the rest of Kamandag packing. Cardo then informs Pulang Araw of the betrayal and acts of terrorism that Alakdan perpetrated.
To boost his poll ratings, Director Hipolito resolves to wipe out Pulang Araw and orders a strike on their stronghold in Mt. Karagao. The ensuing encounter that results in the deaths of Lawin (Dante Rivero), Lena (Yam Concepcion) and Lena's son, Emman (Emmanuel Matteo Gabriel Plan), leads to Leon’s (Lito Lapid) discovery that Cardo is a SAF member. Romulo and Cardo engage in a knife dueling club on top of the mountain hill, ending with them joining forces in order to take down Alakdan.
