Ed and Gabriel travel to Mexico, the ‘scene of the crime.’ Ed is convinced his grandfather was the victim of a conspiracy. But Gabriel has unearthed the notes of the England team doctor, which tell a different story.

First 90 secondsGabriel Gatehouse· Host0:00
This is Audible. [street chatter] This is meat. This is, uh, chicken of them. Everything is in a stew.
Ed Jervis· Host0:10
I mean, that sounds amazing.
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:12
Fresh off the hot plate, huh?
Eduardo0:14
Cheers.
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:14
Cheers.
Ed Jervis· Host0:15
Cheers. Cheers to you. [instrumental music plays] Whenever I talked with Grandad about falling ill in Mexico, he was always vaguely suspicious. I used to tease him. "Sure, Grandad," I'd say. "Late night taco, was it, from some street stall?" But he was always adamant something dodgy went on.
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:35
Have I told you the last time I came to Mexico, which was 30 years ago, I got so ill.
Ed Jervis· Host0:42
Oh, dear.
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:44
Exactly the same as your grandad. Same symptoms.
Ed Jervis· Host0:47
We, we were also, uh [laughs]— Playing in a World Cup ... playing in a World Cup then.
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:54
[laughs] No.
Ed Jervis· Host0:56
Was someone out to get you?
Gabriel Gatehouse· Host0:57
[laughs] But I, I, I, I say this just to make the point that it's not unheard of for people to get ill in Mexico.
Ed Jervis· Host1:06
I, I, I, no, I agree. And I think, like... I've gotta say, I absolutely love this place. A vast mural depicting colorful skulls over here. Over there, some kids playing football underneath a busy overpass. The sheer joyful chaos of it all, the street music, the street food.
