The 10th season of Law & Order premiered on NBC, September 22, 1999 and ended May 24, 2000. Executive Producers René Balcer and Ed Sherin leave the show at the end of the season.
Ed Green (played by Jesse L. Martin) replaced season 9's Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) in the role of junior detective.
A murderer's shooting spree in Central Park prompts Briscoe and his new partner, Detective Ed Green, to trace the murder weapon's origin; McCoy makes it his mission to punish the killer and the gun manufacturer.
As Briscoe and Green investigate the shooting of a judge, suspicion quickly points to her husband as the person who ordered the hit, but McCoy's case is hindered when she refuses to implicate her husband during the trial.
The focus of the case (previously investigated in "Mayhem") returns to a politically influential family and, during the course of the trial, McCoy finds the powerful matriarch to be a formidable opponent.
This is part two of a two-part episode that begins on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
The death of an elderly man trying to find who was responsible for the torture killing of his son in Chile in 1973 leads to a former high-ranking Chilean Army officer who is in New York receiving cancer treatments at a Manhattan hospital.
