First, depending on whether the cable is broken or not, try using a long flat bladed screwdriver and attempt to pop the lever to which the cable is going to. If that does not work and the cable is definitely broken and it is broken near the interior release lever, you can remove the inner fender well and find the cable and then cut it and remove part of the outer sheath and then use vise grips to pull it to open.
Good luck, I hope this helps.
