Help me stop!

Help me stop!
Ok, so from what I've read I think I killed my master cylinder. The pedal goes to the floor and you have to "stand" on the pedal to make it stop. I tried to flush it one more time before I try the master cylinder, and everything was going fine until I got to the driver's side rear wheel. I opened the bleeder screw, and had my "friend" press on the pedal and nothing...no fluid, no air, no nothing.
So what's my next step? Should I go straight to the master cylinder or do something else?

try unscrewing the bleeder on that wheel all the way all the way out then have him push on it. Does fluid come out then? Ive had bleeder valves that were corroded and plugged before. Also are you sure your bleeding it properly? Were you having these issues BEFORE you started messing with the brakes?

I had to reallllllly press on the brake pedal once on a TL to get whatever was inside out!
then the fluid flowed and the brakes bled

Yup there is fluid in the reservoir. I took off the brake line of the one in question and pressed HARD on the pedal and nothing came out.
As far as bleeding it, I filled the reservoir, unscrewed the bleeder screw 1/2 a turn, inserted my "one man bleeder" tube, and had someone pump the brake pedal until the bottle was full, then I emptied the bottle and put more fluid in the reservoir.
Everything was fine until the "wrong fluid incident"
