How/where can I inspect JS methods' internal code?

Question

For example, when we pass a callback function to Array.filter():

[1,2,3].filter(el => {
  return el === 2;
})

I'd like to inspect the internals of the method, leading up to the callback at the end

You can't, perhaps the closest you'd get is to look at the source code for your favourite Javascript interpreter, or you could look at the polyfill code which is presented for certain methods - filter being one - on MDN

eg

if (!Array.prototype.filter){
  Array.prototype.filter = function(func, thisArg) {
    'use strict';
    if ( ! ((typeof func === 'Function' || typeof func === 'function') && this) )
        throw new TypeError();

    var len = this.length >>> 0,
        res = new Array(len), // preallocate array
        t = this, c = 0, i = -1;

    var kValue;
    if (thisArg === undefined){
      while (++i !== len){
        // checks to see if the key was set
        if (i in this){
          kValue = t[i]; // in case t is changed in callback
          if (func(t[i], i, t)){
            res[c++] = kValue;
          }
        }
      }
    }
    else{
      while (++i !== len){
        // checks to see if the key was set
        if (i in this){
          kValue = t[i];
          if (func.call(thisArg, t[i], i, t)){
            res[c++] = kValue;
          }
        }
      }
    }

    res.length = c; // shrink down array to proper size
    return res;
  };
}
