That's quieter, but no less soaked in disbelief, because he's just had an epiphany, and this is it. "You don't get it."
Steve McGarrett, Navy SEAL and Commander of god knows how many black ops missions, at home with chasing terrorists and taking the kind of orders that result in people being killed in violent, terrible ways, just doesn't get it. He doesn't see it. That it's all the same. That Danny's point has nothing to do with the girl Steve just found in the cellar or in a closet or wherever she was, that this argument is beyond superfluous, because he doesn't get it. None of it. "You know, for a guy who just lost his father, you're pretty dense."
He's not doing this to Grace. Steve should know that, because Steve is living it right now, but Steve doesn't, so Danny will explain, by way of thumbscrews, if he has to. He'd take that bullet all over again to make sure it didn't happen to that girl's father, either, but that's not the point, and McGarrett is missing it completely, because he is still. Not. Listening.
