First of all, please tell me that English is your seventh language or something.

Secondly, you broke the bleeder screw? Is that what you're trying to convey? If you broke (and din't replace) the bleeder screw, your brake pedal is going to shoot brake fluid out the hole where the screw was. Bleeding it at the brake line won't work, either, as you need to bleed it at it's highest point, because that's where the air will go.

My recommendation would be to find somebody who has done this before (and maybe find a dictionary, too, it would help you describe problems to us so that we can actually help you), and have him/her show you how to do this.
