Question Cannot bleed the brake on my 87 300sdl

The brake on my 300SDL project car always feel mushy. Tried to bleed the right rear brake and now nothing works. I loosen the bleeding nipple and connected a hose it, asked a friend to pump the brake while I watched the brake fluid coming out into a bag. Some fluid and air came out then NOTHING afterward. The fluid reservoir does not go down and the brake now goes all the way to the floor. Removed the caliper with the brake line dangling, pumped the brake, still nothing come out and reservoir does not go down.

Tried to do it with engine running and still nothing. I have bled brakes before but not with a car with ABS. Did I do something wrong? Why there is no fluid coming out even with the caliper removed, I would expect at least some would come out due to gravity.

Any help is appreciated.
