Help! Mercedes trapped in garage by broken garage door cable!

Today started hearing strange sounds from the garage door. Looked outside and WHOA, the garage door cable on the left had spun off the top reel and was hanging semi-loose on the outside of the garage door!

I took the cable off and measured it; it is 8 feet 3 inches. I'm no expert on these things so I've included some photos. It appears to me that the end of the cable that goes in the top cable reel has broke into two parts therefore the cable itself needs to be replaced. Ideas, suggestions are appreciated.....
