When you are aware a vengeful master vampire is still hunting you, getting drunk as hell with prostitutes and keeping few weapons close at hand can end in a very, very gruesome manner. The prostitutes can qualify as well. Even though they may not know Valek is a vampire, there are at least two who run straight at him despite the fact he is the one murdering everybody in the motel.
