It coasts on an outgoing breath, both his hands wrapped around the bottle, green glass catching the sunlight and refracting it just like the waves do, but he's studying Steve, that face, that certainty.
He's seen it before. Sort of a Captain Ahab deal; men and women obsessed with revenge, or something less final but no less all-encompassing. That burning need to take them in, make them pay, win, even though it can't ever bring back the people lost. Hesse will still have fired that bullet, even if Steve catches him. He and his brother will still have terrorized the world for years.
But it's not about bringing people back, and Danny can get that, too. It's about laying them to rest. About making sure no one else ever gets hurt by that man again. White hat versus black -- and sometimes the motivation? That's all the difference between them there is.

He hopes to God Steve knows it.
"Okay. Then that's what we'll do."
