## History

### Season 2

At Kosta's house, Kosta announces at the gathering that his eldest daughter, Grace, is getting married. Reggie speaks with Kosta and comments about his other daughter, Jozi. Kosta asks Reggie about Stabler, who he refers to as Eddie, and Reggie explains that Eddie Ashes is an ex-con who works for him. Reggie goes over to Stabler and says that Kosta wants Stabler to make him a drink. Suddenly three more people, Preston Webb, Lance "Red Bull" Flowers and Carmen Riley arrive and Kosta says that they are his guests. Webb tells Kosta that the theft of their product wasn't orchestrated by the Marcy Killers but it was committed by a rogue member of the corporation, Lance Flowers. Flowers asks Kosta for his forgiveness and Kosta puts a gun to his head threatening to shoot him but Webb tells him that he would rather work with him than against him. (OC: "The Man With No Identity")

Kosta and the rest of the K-O meet the Italians outside of a gas station where Kosta tells Mario Frugatti that he is out of options. All of a sudden, more Italians arrived with weapons but Stabler managed to scare them away with a rocket launcher. Later, Kosta invites Stabler to the dinner with the rest of the K-O where Kosta tells Stabler that he is one of them, while Stabler is drugged after being poisoned. (OC: "New World Order")

Kosta, Briscu and Luka were waiting to speak with Stabler, with Bell and Brewster listening in. However, Stabler was mostly out of the ordeal but Kosta spared him because Briscu vouched for him. Kosta invited him to walk with him and claimed that he didn't like Luka but he wanted his daughter to be happy, so he's stuck with him, and he made Eddie an offer to rob a bar. (OC: "For A Few Lekë More")

After the police raid a party where trafficked girls are being held, Kosta becomes furious and demanded an explanation as to why this happened. Flutura then told Kosta that there was a rat in the organization. (OC: "The Good, The Bad and The Lovely")

After being told by Flutura that there was a rat in the organisation, Kosta started accusing people in the organisation before slicing off the tongue of James Dardan. Kosta put Eddie in charge of finding the rat. Later, Kosta assigned Reggie to assassinate the city official in his home. However, Reggie ended up murdering the wife, accidentally. Later, at a bar, Reggie is arrested for her murder and Albi tells Kosta that he wants to take over the job. Kosta tells him that there will be no more mistakes and Albi gives him his word. (OC: "Unforgivable")

Kosta and Albi met with Stabler at the gym, asking him where Reggie was. After testing him, Kosta and Albi ordered Stabler to assassinate Reggie. However, Stabler recorded the conversation and played it to Reggie to make him turn on the crime family. Later, the police had enough evidence to arrest Kosta's crew but Kosta, Albi and Flutura disappeared after being tipped off by Agnes. However, video footage shows Albi and Kosta entering the Besa Boxing Gym and hasn't left since. When Stabler and Bell attempt to search for Albi and Kosta, the Besa Boxing Gym explodes. (OC: "High Planes Grifter")

### Arrest

While on the run from the police, Kosta gets into an ambulance during a chase while Albi does some more shooting. The ambulance takes Kosta to a boat but the ambulance is cornered and Kosta tries to run away by foot from the docks. Kosta misses his boat and gets cornered by Stabler and Bell. As he is being arrested, Kosta tells Stabler that he almost fooled him. During arraignment, Agnes is brought in with a wheelchair and starts coughing. Kosta yells to get her water before Agnes pulls out a gun and attempts to shoot Stabler. Kosta, Flutura, Albi and other members of the K-O are escorted out but are later charged with the crimes that they committed and imprisoned. (OC: "Ashes to Ashes")
