Excessive brake travel 98 e320

Hey, working on my 98 E320, I have excessive pedal travel for the brakes. I started to bleed them, but very little brake fluid moved with the mighty vac.

I did the two person method, and after about 10 minutes, I got out of the RR bleeder valve an amount equal to what one press,,, release should be.

What next?

pumping the brakes builds up pressure, but as soon as the bleeder valve is open, the pedal drops and hardly any fluid comes out.

There has got to be a bit of air trapped some where in the line.
