You are in trouble. You cannot drive the car without bleeding the
brakes, even if you get a bit of pedal, it will not be stable and the
front/rear pressure difference can fast take out the master cylinder so
you will have nothing when you hit the pedal.

If you don't know how to bleed brakes, it is tow truck time...
