Empire S01E09 - The Earth Mover

Glenn Kassin wants to build a model city near Mesa, but the landowner refuses to sell. This series, sustained by the forceful emoting of star Richard Egan, adds a second powerful performer in guest Dan O'Herlihy, making for some good strong drama. O'Herlihy plays an industrialist who plans a gigantic construction project in Mesa. His aggressive ability convinces almost everyone to go along with his plans, except Redigo, who sees potential totalitarian evils in the man.
