It is at the beginning of chapter four that Brian reflects on "the secret" and the reader learns what it is about. As he crashes into the water at the end of chapter three, darkness falls and the reader is brought immediately to an account of that day he learned "the secret."
He'd been riding bikes with his friend Terry and he remembered everything perfectly. The clock at the bank read 3:31, the temperature was 82 degrees and he couldn't forget the date. He saw his mother in the car and just before he waved hi he noticed that there was a man in the car with her.
The memory is an incredibly painful one for him. He recalls it with a white hot rage that hasn't really diminished. He also notes later in the chapter that it had something to do with his bad luck. If he had good luck, his parents wouldn't have divorced, he wouldn't know the secret, and he wouldn't have crashed the plane into the lake.
