This is the spoken shape of -(으)려고 하다: intending something (약 먹고 집에서 쉴려고 해) or something on the verge of happening (식곤증 올려고 해, the food coma is coming on). The extra ㄹ — 할려고 for 하려고, 쉴려고 for 쉬려고 — is everywhere in speech and in subtitles, but it counts as a misspelling in edited writing, so learn to hear it without copying it into essays.
