Emergency Brake

I believe the emergency brake cable was cut by a PO. What kind of project am I looking at to get it going again? My truck is a '99, manual M5R2, 4X4, 4.6L.

There are 3 Emergency/Parking brake cables

There is 1 from pedal to 1/2 down vehicle. Then a bracket with spring converts from 1 to 2 cables. Then 2 cables goes to each rear brake drum/disc.
Which cable was cut?

I'll check it out again today. I think it was cut right by the pedal, but it may have been cut in the rear too. I'm not entirely sure why someone would cut it opposed to just disconnecting it.

The cable was probably seized and the owner didn't want to invest in a new one.
