A Scanner Darkly (Fred is Surveilling Bob)

Brief description

This is a tricky situation to enter because I am not entirely sure what is happening. Fred (an undercover cop in a scramble suit) is surveilling a group of junkies (hooked on substance D, which is very addictive). One of them is Bob Arctor (who is Fred, the undercover cop). At one point Fred is actually observing himself. Which can be a result of the substance D Drug that he is on. I will also add to this situation a scene where Bob thinks he has sex with a prostitute, but both Bob (who has sex) and Fred (who is watching) both thinks they see their girlfriend Donna. Fred at his surveillance desk, puts up a hologram of sorts to see if the surveillance cameras are recording correctly.
