for little while and get bored with it and be done with a. >> but he surprised everyone. >> from the day he bought the restaurant, he was every day from open to close. he was passionate about learning how to be the best deli guy. he worked alongside gal -- deli guys who worked alongside the kitchen. he was determined to learn every aspect of the business. there was no doubt he was a workaholic. >> he probably didn't have to work that are. he was raised in the boston suburbs. his dad was a successful businessman but he? after college in miami, he proved he had some talent for making money. seem to be lucky too. in business and life. in 1981, he married a beautiful young miami woman named betty. >> pretty much looked like the

then, on cue, t-bone excused himself and went to the bathroom . >> he left a bag between sandler and nine i opened it up to see how many there were. he saw the five kilos. he leaned back and said there's five kilos. i'm excited there was five. he said i don't care if there was 15. he was comfortable. >> the plan was to fly the goods back to palm beach airport. fred said t-bone needed to accompany his cargo. to make things look real, fred told sandler he wanted to have a little fun with t-bone who he said was afraid of small planes. in fact, his fear of flying was also a cover. t-bone was himself a pilot. sam lard did not know that. >> no, sir. >> fred made sure that t-bone said up front. in that little

the one he could not afford to have betty reveal? >> a tax issue from a business you own. he was concerned she would testify to large amounts of income they were not paying tax on. >> was that a reason to kill? still, fred held off, giving sandler every possible chance to change his mind to reveal some darker source for his murderous intent. >> i wanted to know for sure that's what he wanted to do. was there a co-conspirator pushing him to do this? was there something aside, girlfriend, telling him he had to do this now? >> sandler's gets the news he wants to hear. and his wife gets the truth. >> i told her her husband had hired someone to kill her.
