If it were me, I'd probably bench bleed the master, open the bleeders in each corner, hook up the lines, and let it gravity bleed until you get fluid at each corner. Just don't let the master run dry. Then you can bleed as you would normally.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

The clean way to do it.... Get yourself a short length of 3/16 vacuum hose & an oil squirt can, make absolutely sure the oil can is clean.. I have one I use for this that never has anything but brake fluid in it.. They are easy to disassemble & clean, I suggest you do that... Fill it with brake fluid... Completely assemble your brake system then starting with the right rear loosen the bleeder screw & using the oil can push fluid back throught the brake line.. Doing it this way the first line only needs fluid pushed back to the T... Then move to the left rear & again push fluid back through the line but this time Your pushing it back till the master cylinder is maybe 1/4 full... Go to right front & repeat but this time your again wanting to raise the fluid level in the master slightly .. Then move to the left front & repeat....
