"I know. I'm going to have to go into the map."

I love that scene. Joey's basically saying that he has to position himself so that it's almost as if he's actually inside the map in order to find his way. It's a real thing! I know people who do this!

I do not hear "I'm going to" at all. I am struggling to do this but failed and I don't understand why.

I'm gonna ...

The two words are run together quite fast but they're there.

I don't understand why.

It's probably because you're listening for the pronunciation of each phoneme in each syllable. In casual speech, speakers run words together in such a way that the pronunciation changes radically. The auxiliary be going to is a good example of this:

I am going to (5 syllables)
I'm going to (4 syllables)
I'm gonna (3 syllables)
Imma (2 syllables)

Now I hear "Imma".

I noticed that he says "Muna" - if one looks closely and sets a "loop" mode, he produces a sort of bilabial sound at the very beginning of his speech.
