--don't know why I'm even trying... nothing works here.
[That's what the audio cuts in on, mid-sentence - mid mutter, really, like the speaker is talking solely to himself. After a minute of pressing this and that, the sound of heavy footfalls, the video switches on for a brief glance of James' face. Tired, but alert, and a little shocked at the sudden new feature on the comm. He doesn't recognize what it is, though, and instead flips it around to use as a second flashlight, switching his own off.
That's because the spot James is wandering around in is pitch-fucking-black due to the Rune knocking out the power. He's convinced he's still in Silent Hill. The comm gets a few minutes of tense walking, though James is eerily silent throughout. Eventually the video times out, with one little last bit:]
When did the fog thin out?

That's possible? [wait nevermind that's not important] I can't stay here. My wife - she's back in that town, waiting for me. I need to go back.
[note that he does not ask where the hell he is, who he's talking to, if this is Laura (though he's tempted), why he's wandering around in the dark like a jackass, or how he even got here. This is James. You can send a twitchy faceless nurse with a crowbar at him and he won't do much more than go 'what the hell' and then shoot it in its not-face.]

It's possible. In the room where you got that communicator, that you're talking to me with now, is a machine called the Porter. It... grabs people from different cities, countries, times, and dimensions, and brings them here.
The only way back is if the Porter sends you back, but she doesn't really listen to anyone.
She'll still be there when you get back, though.
