I stuck a leg in the car and touched the pedal and it went "thump!" and hit the floor. I couldn't pull it up with a few pounds of force, so I shut the bleed screw, depressurized the pump bottle and then I was able to pull the pedal up and start the process again.

A bit of a "note to self" moment.
Oh, you mean you didn't have an assistant pump the pedal and hold it down before you opened the bleed screw?
