Manuel Aguila was a drug dealer so ruthless that he felt "gun control meant being able to hit your target." A womanizer, heavy drinker, and cocaine user himself, Aguila worked for drug lord Carlos Perena and killed Torres, a former employee who stole several kilos of cocaine from Perena. Aguila admits to enjoying his work as a killer for Perena and has a reputation for doing his jobs clean so the police "can't prove zip." Aguila would party late into the night at The Clevelander and other South Beach bars and clubs. Later, Aguila attempts to work out deals with undercover detectives Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs and Stan Switek, but interference from "Miracle Man" gives Aguila an unwanted high profile in the media, depressing the price per kilo.
