The Courier (micro-series)

The Courier is an advertiser sponsored, week-long micro-series debuted in 2006 on CBS, during the first act break of CSI: Miami. The premiere is a sixty-second installment followed by forty second editions. It tells the story of a mystery man named "iiro" who races against time to uncover clues and perform a sequence of deadly tasks in a desperate attempt to rescue his kidnapped wife. The debut episode of "The Courier" utilized an original composition from Los Angeles experimental composer Devin Sarno.

After each broadcast episode of "The Courier" viewers were able to go to CBS.com to find out more about "iiro" (played by magician and BASE jumper Iiro Seppänen) and his adventures. The web site offered each episode for viewing on-demand after its broadcast, and fleshed out the cryptic narrative via rich video and text components.

The Courier

by: Richard Shindell

I am a courier
Crawling in the dirt
Toward the front line
As the crow flies
A note stashed in my shirt
From the Prince of Wales
Far above the field
With his marshalls
And their chain-mail
Their banners taut and high
I did not ask him what the note said
He did not offer to explain
It s not my job to ask the questions
I m just the courier
A flare shot leaves a scar
Burning in the dark
On my forearms
Toward the front line
Then another fifty yards
Crouching in the trench
Clutching bayonettes
A hundred men
All knee-to-chest
A hundred marionettes
I am the string pulled by the sure hand
Animating what was still
I am invisible and faithful
I am a courier
The Captain breaks the seal
And quickly reads the note
On your feet boys
Make you peace boys
Pass those letters down
To this courier
Guardian of the word
Hand him all you ve seen
Hand him all you ve heard
Hand him all your pearls
And he ll go back to where he came from
He will deliver each by hand
He takes this as a point of honor
