He meets Elizabeth Barry (Morton), an actress whose budding talent blossoms and makes her much in demand under Rochester's tutelage. Wilmot and Barry become lovers. King Charles II, meanwhile, is torn between his great friendship with Wilmot and the danger posed by his displays of contempt for his monarchy. Pike plays Elizabeth Wilmot, Countess of Rochester; John's wife.Has nothing to do with the 2000 French film The Libertine.

 I Warned You: When Rochester's friends introduce him to their new friend, 18-year-old Billy Downs, Rochester warns Downs, "Young man, you will die of this company." Later, when Downs is killed in a sword fight outside the home of a Constable, Rochester backs away from the dying man, whispering, "I told you."

comment
 Exact Words: Charles II, in need of money from France, asks Rochester to write a play in honour of the French Ambassador's visit, as a "testament" to his reign. Charles apparently forgets that Rochester, while a personal friend of his, has an utter contempt for the monarchy, so he writes Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery, a scathing satire of the King's reign that involves live sex acts and vulgar imagery, claiming that it is, in Rochester's eyes, indeed "a testament to Charles" — just what the King had asked for.
