The 10th season of NYPD Blue premiered on ABC on September 24, 2002, and concluded on May 20, 2003.
Sipowicz and Clark go to arrest a shooting suspect and Sipowicz ends up pushing a woman down to the floor. Medavoy and Jones catch an older woman who has been severely beaten and bound with tape. The investigation leads them to a high school student caught using the woman's credit card, and a friend of Clark's shows up at the 15th to tell Clark his name has popped up in the investigation of a murdered prostitute. Sipowicz and Clark's suspect, Lyle, tells them the woman belonged to Money T, a violent smack dealer, and that Money T will come after Sipowicz. IAB shows up to interview Clark about his involvement with the murdered prostitute. Clark insists she was an unregistered confidential informant, but that does not look good for Clark, especially when he's told that he may be looked at for her murder. Clark immediately rushes out to meet his father, who he is covering for. Sipowicz and Clark run a game on Lyle, to get him to give up Money T. Lyle gives them a location where they could find Money T, but when they raid the place, they turn up just a couple of dealers and a small amount of dope. When they return to the station, Clark tells Sipowicz he's protecting his father. As they leave their car, shots ring out, and an innocent bystander is killed. Sipowicz goes to tune up Lyle, but is stopped by Clark. The two almost come to blows when Lieutenant Rodriguez enters and calms things down. Sipowicz and Clark go at Lyle, who gives up the fortress Money T hides out in. Medavoy and Jones bring in a kid named Joseph as a suspect in the beating of the old lady. During questioning, Baldwin finds an address to another lady. They go to question the lady about Joseph, but find her, too, bound and beaten. Sipowicz, Clark, McDowell and Ortiz lead the raid on Money T's place, and catch him — along with 14 million.
While the squad looks at pictures of Irvin's new used Mercedes, Clark lets Lieutenant Rodriguez know he is staying active on the job, as his implication in the death of a prostitute is meaningless. Clark tries to convince the Lieu that he was not involved with the prostitute, but Rodriguez does not seem to believe him — or care. A call comes in from the FBI reporting a bomb threat at the Family Court building. As the detectives try to evacuate the building, McDowell and Ortiz witness a letter bomb that goes off in a Judge's chamber, spreading a burning white powder. Clark and Sipowicz return to the station house, where Officer Laughlin teases Clark about his alleged involvement with the dead pross. Clark is informed that IAB has called him, and he leaves to meet Fraker. Sipowicz then receives a call that another letter bomb has gone off spreading a mysterious white powder, this time at a lawyer's office — the lawyer is at the hospital, suffering cardiac arrest. At their meeting, Fraker tries to get Clark to rat on Sipowicz in exchange for getting a pass on the dead pross. When Clark gives him nothing, Fraker lets him know he is a suspect in the pross' murder, and he is on restricted duty until further notice. Sipowicz and McDowell bring in a Larry Orth, who faced the judge targeted in the attack, and was arrested for mailing threatening letters to the President. At the same time, lab results come in that the white powder is just a mixture of cayenne peppers and egg shells. Medavoy recognizes the ingredients as part of a Santeria ritual, and go to ask a contact who practices Santeria, who confirms their suspicion. Sipowicz and McDowell get nothing from Orr. On a hunch, McDowell looks through the judge's files for anyone with a Hispanic name, and comes up with a Tim Hale, whose emergency contact is a Laline Fernandez. They go to bring him in. Maya asks Baldwin to lunch, and later asks him out on a date. Baldwin is hesitant at first, but finally gives in to Maya's charms. The word reaches the squad that the attorney died from heart failure. Sipowicz and Clark question Hale, who denies any involvement. McDowell and Ortiz question Fernandez, who slips up and reveals she gave Tim the powder, thinking he was going to use it on their boss. When Clark and Sipowicz go back at Tim, he confesses, explaining how he was a victim of the system. Sipowicz meets Clark, Sr., and explains to him the trouble Clark is in. After enduring Clark Sr.'s snipes, Sipowicz tells him he should fix the situation. A.D.A. Haywood informs the squad that they are handing Hale off to the FBI. Just after picking his car up, Irvin is carjacked at gunpoint.
