I just need to get it open...

So I'm in a dilemma here. Rear hatch will not open. Tried hitting the button. Nothing. Tried using the key. Nothing. Thoughts?

If you can get the rear panel off, you can take a small flathead screwdriver and stick it in the slot behind where the key goes and twist. I had to do this recently myself with a new donor car i got.
