Passenger Door wont open...

I took the door panel off earlier today to fix the electrical conector to the window motor(long story) put everything back together pretty quickly. It seemed like a pretty simple fix until i went to open the door from the inside. The inside door handle didnt feel right, felt like it had some slack, it still opened from the inside so i went to check the outside door handle. Door wouldnt open from the outside... son of a bitch... so i went to open it on the inside to troubleshoot, when the worst thing happend, it wouldnt open from the inside now. After locking/unlocking, doing numerous tricks and taking the inside door handle trim/handle off to get to the cable that opens the door i got nothing.

Usually it only takes a small tug on the cable to open the door, i about dislocated my arm pulling at that cable with chanel locks and still no luck. when i pull the cable the door locks and unlocks like it should i just cant open the door. Any suggestions? im stumped...

bottom off and take off the door panel to get at the linkage.
